Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal talks amid mass protests in Yerevan

In the South Caucasus, neighboring countries Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought two wars in the years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The conflict was about the status of Nagorno-Karabakh, a majority-ethnic Armenian region inside Azerbaijan. In September, Azerbaijan's military seized Nagorno-Karabakh, which resulted in the displacement of tens of thousands of Armenians. Now, the two countries are engaged in peace talks. The World's Daniel Ofman reports that many Armenians are not happy.
