Bayati shiraz - Tacir

Nagorno-Karabakh is a landlocked region in the South Caucasus, lying between Lower Karabakh and Zangezur and covering the southeastern range of the Lesser Caucasus mountains, which corresponds to the eastern part of the Armenian Highland.[1]

Most of the region is governed by the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (usually abbreviated as NKR), a de facto independent but unrecognized state established on the basis of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of the Soviet Union's Azerbaijan SSR and populated mainly by ethnic Armenians.

The region's both interim and final international status remains so far unsettled, but there are international organizations, governments, NGOs and single politicians who recognize it as part of Azerbaijan, which has had no control over the region since 1991.[2][3] Since the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994, representatives of the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have been holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group on the region's final status.

The region is usually equated with the administrative borders of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast within the Azerbaijani SSR comprising an area of 4,400 square kilometres (1,700 sq mi). The historical area of the region, however, encompasses approximately 8,223 square kilometres (3,175 sq mi).[4][5]

At present, the Constitution of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic has a territorial definition based on the total area that is under de facto control of the republic until a future settlement of the conflict, plus territories lost to Azerbaijan during the war.[6] This area includes the district of Shahumian and the rural community of Getashen, which NKR does not control at the moment, as well as some territories of Azerbaijan that NKR presently controls. The latter, often referred to as the Nagorno-Karabakh buffer zone, link the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Armenia.[7]
