The Republic of Artsakh, also known as Artsakh or Nagorno-Karabakh, is a partially recognized state in the Caucasus. Azerbaijan claims Artsakh as part of its territory.

History

In the 1920s, Kirov and Orjonikidze wanted Artsakh to be part of Armenia. Nariman Narimanov, the Chairman of the Revkom of Azerbaijan, made Artsakh an autonomous oblast of Azerbaijan instead.[1]
