Though the war ended with the signing of a [[cease fire]] between Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan and the ''de facto'' independence of the NKR, the Azerbaijani leadership has repeatedly threatened to restart hostilities to retake the region.<ref>"[http://asbarez.com/82329/azeri-assault-on-karabakh-outpost-kills-four-armenian-soldiers/ Azeri Assault on Karabakh Outpost Kills Four Armenian Soldiers]."
