His work "Ojagh" became a thesis for revival of inter-ethnic strife over the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, which ultimately resulted in 1991-1994 Nagorno-Karabakh War between Armenia and Azerbaijan with a total of 30,000 fatalities and over a million refugees on both sides.
Interpol
The authorities in Azerbaijan allege that Balayan was involved in a terrorist bombing of the metro in Baku in 1994. General secretary of Interpol, in a latter to Balayan, stated that the agency considered the complaint politically motivated and that it had removed Balayan from its wanted list as a result.
