In 2021, Armenia continued to deal with the aftermath of its defeat in a forty-four-day war with Azerbaijan over the territory of the Republic of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh). As a result, much public attention during the year was focused on national security issues, the humanitarian crisis in Artsakh, and the unstable situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijan and Artsakh-Azerbaijan borders. Despite the November 9, 2020, ceasefire agreement that ended the war, Azerbaijani military forces frequently initiated hostilities in the border regions of Armenia in 2021. For example, in May, Azerbaijani military troops advanced across the sovereign territory of Armenia, while in November, large-scale hostilities broke out, resulting in casualties and the capture of soldiers from the Armenian side. Overall, the Armenian public was frustrated with the war's devastating outcome and plagued by uncertainty about the future. The post-war political, social, and economic situation in Armenia also impacted CSOs, making humanitarian and social agendas the priorities for them.
