Nagorno-Karabakh

Nagorno-Karabakh
The word Nagorno is derived from the Russian adjective nagorny (нагорный), which means "highland".
The word Karabakh is generally held to originate from Turkic and Persian, and literally
means "black garden“.
Total area : 4,400 km2
Population (1989): 190.000
Armenians: 77 %
Azerbaijani: 21.5%
Russian: 1 %
Other nationalities: 0.5%

Of course both sides claim that historically NK was part of their country:

• Armenian orientated sources assume that Nagorno-Karabakh was part of the early Armenia as the province of Arzakh.
• In contrast, Azerbaijani sources place the province of Arzakh within the former Caucasian Albania.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict: A Legal Analysis By Heiko Krüger

• “Right up until the late Middle Ages Karabakh is said to have been home to the Caucasian Albanians.”
• “Until this time the territory could not be clearly classified ethnically as belonging to either the Armenian or the Azerbaijani cultural area.”

The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict: A Legal Analysis By Heiko Krüger

• “Karabakh, like Erivan, was considered to be a territory dominated by the Azerbaijanis from the 16th to the 19th centuries”
• “Not even the territory of modern Armenia could be regarded as being under Armenian rule at that time.”
• “In the middle of the 18th century the Karabakh khanate was established under the Azerbaijani Panah-Ali khan Javanshir.”
