It's the same cause as most of the post 1990 clashes in the former USSR. The independent nations were drawn up with the wrong borders. Nagorno Karabakh should be part of Armenia but was given to Azerbaijan. Muslim nations have a nasty habit of persecuting Christian minorities, so the Armenians didn't take it lightly. The borders are even worse in the central asian republics. Enclaves everywhere.

The Turks are supporting Azerbaijan, which is a very sore point in Armenia, as the Turks killed several hundred thousand Armenian civilians during and after World War 1 due to them supporting the modernisation and breaking up of the (Turkish) Ottoman Empire.
Hopefully the Russians and Iranians can bring their presence to bear on forcing a quick resolution (Muslim Iran supports Christian Armenia, rather than muslim Azerbaijan).

Turkey has been trying to exterminate the Armenians for a long time. No surprise they are continuing it here.

Turkey needs to be removed from NATO and Europe. They are the only nation who is threatening the security of the region by provoking Greece (also in NATO) and worse, Russia.

Pretty hard for Armenia to even consider peace talks when both Azerbaijan and Turkey want not just to conquer the territory but to exterminate them.
