Almost two decades since conflict broke out between Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia, two northern neighbors of Iran, in Nagorno – Karabakh region. Although military conflict in this region has minimized with the existing ceasefire, and reaching a sustainable agreement is likely to be happened by the two parties. Close regional and international cooperation seems necessary more than ever in order to reduce conflict in Nagorno – Karabakh region. The main objective of this study is to give a thorough presentation of the regional and international cooperation in or-der to reduce Nagorno – Karabakh regional issues and hazards.

Taking advantage of analytic – descriptive method and benefiting from reliable and authentic sources, it can be concluded that the interdependence of threat will lead to the increased mutual costs in this study.

"When the first ethnic conflicts broke out in the region, Azerbaijan, as one of states to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) made its utmost efforts in order to crackdown and suppress this freedom- seek- ing movement.
Players Affecting and Influencing Nagorno – Karabakh Conflict As two countries of Azerbaijan and Armenia are involved directly in Nagorno – Karabakh conflict, there are other regional and interna- tional players, the most important of which are as follows: Turkey, Russia and Minsk Group of Organization for Security and Co- operation in Europe (OSCE)1.
(Rusiran internet site) Minsk Group Since the beginning of collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) and end of Cold War, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has initi- ated widespread activities in Caucasus con- flict.
S. , Russia and France as the heads of Minks Group (Organization for Security and Coop- eration in Europe) to the recent resolution of the UN General Assembly on Nagorno – Karabakh Conflict has dissatisfied authorities of Republic of Azerbaijan as well.
Therefore, it can be concluded that interdependency, caused by economic, security and cultural issues in south Caucasus region, especially in Karabakh, as well as reduced power of governments and weakness of nation- alism have brought about the necessity of re- gional and international cooperation in settling problem facing Karabakh region."
