Asked by togrulmail - Sat Jan 17 01:27:17 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. The Armenian-Azerbaijani war, which started after the Russian Revolution, was a series of brutal and hard to classify conflicts in 1918, then from 1920 to 1922 that occurred during the brief independence of Armenia and Azerbaijan and afterward.
