EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - Nagorno-Karabakh: Peace on the Horizon? Hopes for a Karabakh deal have risen markedly since the July 10-16 visit to Armenia, Azerbaijan and Karabakh by the co-chairmen of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Minsk Group, the tri-partite body charged with mediating peace talks. In recent weeks, some high-profile politicians have hinted that mediators may be probing for a compromise that could potentially leave Karabakh outside of Azerbaijan. According to a high-ranking sources cited in the RFERL report, Azerbaijan would, in turn, agree to recognize Karabakh’s status based on the results of a referendum to be held among the inhabitants of the enclave within 10 to 15 years. www.eurasianet.org /departments/insight/articles/eav081705b.shtml   (729 words)

Thinking a Way Out of Karabakh Autonomous Karabakh was separated from Armenia proper by a six-mile swath of land - the Lachin corridor - that was primarily settled by Muslim Kurds. Karabakh would continue to exist in its present form until the agreement on final status was reached, but - very significantly - it would have gained an internationally recognized interim status (in contrast, for example, to the Serbs in Krajina), which it would not have without the agreement. Karabakh must remain de jure in Azerbaijan, in accordance with the principle of the territorial integrity of states and the inadmissibility of changing borders unilaterally through the use of force. www.mepc.org /journal_vol7/9910_laitinsuny.asp   (14476 words)

Nagorno Karabakh and Kosovo: Nation State and Ethnic Cleansing Nagorno Karabakh, which survived earlier massacres and were forcibly separated from Armenia and attached to Azerbaijan by the revolutionary whims of the early Bolshevik regime in Russia, in 1920-1923. And both the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh and the Albanians of Kosovo, after persistent yet unsuccessful attempts to attract the attention of their own federal governments, foreign states and international organizations to their causes, finally resorted to means aimed at the creation of — and, in Nagorno Karabakh’s case, revival — their own rudimental nation-states. In the beginning of both conflicts, Nagorno Karabakh's and Kosovo's armed resistance to the forces of their central governments was asymmetrical, due to the numerically superior and better equipped Azerbaijani and Yugoslav military. www.cilicia.com /Ethniccleansing.htm   (4386 words)

Nagorno Karabakh: History ACCENT ON [the region of Nagorno Karabakh] is in Armenia Minor, which is now called Armenian Seghnakhs; all those lands are populated by brave Armenian Christians, who have defended themselves with their own forces against both the Turks and the Persians for the last several years. While the Karabakh Khanate was a phenomenon that flashed briefly in the two-thousand-year-old history of Armenian rule in Artsakh, leaving little trace of material culture, it is still remembered by Artsakh’s inhabitants with bitterness and resentment, as a self-imposed parasitic formation that used to prey on the native population of the region. The chieftains of the Karabakh Khanate were liquidated together with their fiefdom in the course of the Russian military campaigns in the Caucasus, in 1805, never managing to assert direct authority over the demographically preponderant Armenians of mountainous Artsakh. www.cilicia.com /History.htm   (4178 words)

Nagorno-Karabakh The term Nagorno-Karabakh originates from the Russian for "mountainous Karabakh." As the Azerbaijani population grew, the Karabakh Armenians chafed under discriminatory rule, and by 1960 hostilities had begun between the two populations of the region. The release of the Karabakh Committee followed the 1989 election; for the next six months, the nationalist movement and the Armenian communist leadership worked as uncomfortable allies on the Karabakh issue. The Karabakh government is unable to man the confrontation line properly, and approximately five strong infantry companies face just under five brigades of the Azerbaijan Army. www.globalsecurity.org /military/world/war/nagorno-karabakh.htm   (1493 words)

Nagorno Karabakh Nagorno Karabakh — Artsakh in Armenian — is one of the cradles of Armenian statehood and the birthplace of a latemedieval emancipatory movement in Eastern Armenia. However, this tradition was breached once when short-lived Karabakh Khanate, a political entity created in Nagorno Karabakh in 1752 by Turkic-speaking nomads from the plains of Central Iran, emerged on the political map of the Southeastern Caucasus. Similarly to the case of Nagorno Karabakh, the regions of Kosovo and Metohija were an important part of the older Serbian kingdom, which peaked in the 14th century. www.fortunecity.com /business/napier/112/id18.htm   (1589 words)

These facts, as well as its persistent 14-year effective functioning of the Karabakh electoral institutions in foreign and domestic policies are an undisputable basis for cooperation of the appropriate organizations of the international community with the NKR authorities in Karabakh conflict settlement. Thus, as a result of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic establishment, the relations of the administrative subordination of the territory and the authorities of the NKR to the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR) had been suspended in accordance with the law before the announcement of the Alma-Ata Declaration on December 21, 1991. www.regnum.ru /english/547923.html   (1699 words)
