Armenia and Azerbaijan are clashing over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave, which is officially part of Azerbaijan but is run by ethnic Armenians. There is a general sense that Azerbaijan has gained momentum in recent days, with repeated aerial bombardments, and it has not yet responded to calls for a ceasefire.

Correspondent Jonah Fisher describes the relative strengths of the two sides and how, with expected allies such as the US and Russia not coming forward to back them, how the conflict is leaving Armenia "painfully exposed".
