		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.

		Western readers have learned of the Nagorno (Upper) Karabakh controversy through reports from that remote area by Western correspondents and from commentaries by members of the long-established Armenian-American community.

	All about the Karabakh conflict
		They contend that Karabakh is a historical and integral part of Azerbaijan and one of the cradles of the Azeri culture.
		Thus, Armenia is unlikely to recognize Karabakh, at least, at present situation, in order not to antagonize the international community, by diminishing her area for maneuvering and risking to be sanctioned and internationally recognized as an explicit aggressor.

		The Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh were among the first in the region to embrace Christianity back in 301 A.D. in the aftermath of the missionary activities of St. Gregory the Illuminator.
		The legacy of the 1918-1920 slaughter of Armenians by Turkish and Azerbaijani forces-especially the March 1920 destruction of Shushi, an Armenian cultural center that lost its Armenian population and character until recaptured in May 1992- was revived by pogroms in Baku and "ethnic cleansing" of Armenian population throughout the region since 1988.
		Presently, the population of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh is a mixture of the local population and Armenian refugees from parts of Nagorno-Karabakh still held by Azerbaijani forces, as well as ethnically cleansed Armenian communities in other parts of Azerbaijan, most notably Baku.
