Actually Armenia is not attacking Azerbaijan right now. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union (USSR), there was a disagreement between the Azerbaijani SSR and the Armenian SSR over a land inside Azerbaijan where most of the population was Armenian. The people of this region wanted to join Armenia, while Azerbaijan didn't want to give up its territory. This resulted in a war between the two countries, and in the end the region broke off from Azerbaijan, and is being supported by Armenia. However ever country (including Armenia) considers those lands as part of Azerbaijan.
It should be noted that, when the Soviet Union ended, the republics (including Azerbaijan) wanted independence, but Azerbaijan was not willing to give the same independence to this Armenian speaking region. It is true however that this land used to belong 100% to Azeris, and the residents were Azeri. But over the years the population shifted to mostly Armenian. It is sad to see that two countries who used to be one are now fighting each other. Many Armenians used to peacefully live in Azerbaijan, and vise-versa. Tragedy.
The war was very bloody, and both soviet republics ended up killing innocent civilians. This is why the peace process is taking very long.
