Macedonia

Macedonia: The country is in dispute with Greece over its name, as Greece believes the use of the name "Macedonia" implies territorial claims over the Greek region of Macedonia. The dispute has been ongoing for several decades, with negotiations taking place intermittently since the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. The people living in the disputed areas of Macedonia have mixed views, with some advocating for a resolution to the dispute in order to gain international recognition and access to EU and NATO membership, while others feel a strong attachment to the name and identity of Macedonia.
Armenia: The country is in dispute with Azerbaijan over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is populated mainly by ethnic Armenians but is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. The dispute dates back to the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s, leading to a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in which Armenia gained control of Nagorno-Karabakh. The people living in Nagorno-Karabakh overwhelmingly support independence and closer ties with Armenia, while those living in Azerbaijan view the region as an integral part of their country. Efforts to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict have been ongoing for several decades, with occasional outbreaks of violence.
