Լեռնային Ղարաբաղ Հայերեն Լեռնային Ղարաբաղ - Արցախ Լեռնային Ղարաբաղը կամ Արցախը անկախ, ինքնիշխան և իրավական պետություն է Անդրկովկասում։ Արևմուտքից սահմանակցում է Հայաստանի Հանրապետությանը, հարավից՝ Իրանին, իսկ արևելքից և հյուսիսից՝ Ադրբեջանին։ Մայրաքաղաքը Ստեփանակերտն է։ Մշակութային կենտրոնը Շուշի բերդաքաղաքն է։ Լեռնային Ղարաբաղը պատմականորեն կազմում է Մեծ Հայքի Արցախ նահանգը։ Իր աշխարհագրական և քաղաքական դիրքով Արցախը կարևոր դեր է խաղացել Հայոց պատմության մեջ։ Հայ մեծանուն պատմաբան Լեոն Արցախը համեմատել է «հսկայական միջնաբերդի» հետ, առանց որի «անհնար է երևակայել Հայաստանի սրտի, այն է՝ Արարատյան երկրի պաշտպանությունը»։ Այժմ Արցախը կայացել է որպես երկրորդ հայկական պետություն։ Այդպիսով ներկայիս Հայաստանը բաղկացած է Հայաստանի Հանրապետությունից (ՀՀ) և Լեռնային Ղարաբաղի Հանրապետությունից (ԼՂՀ)։ Azərbaycan Dağlıq Qarabağ - Dağlıq Qarabağ Respublikası Dağlıq Qarabağ, Azərbaycannın qərb hissəsində Ermənistan və İranla sərhəd bölgə, Ermənistan tərəfindən işğal olunub.

English Nagorno-Karabakh - Nagorno-Karabakh Republic The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) (Լեռնային Ղարաբաղի Հանրապետություն Lernayin Gharabaghi Hanrapetut’yun), or Artsakh Republic (Արցախի Հանրապետություն Arts'akhi Hanrapetut’yun) is a de facto independent republic located in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the South Caucasus. It controls most of the territory of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast and several Azerbaijani districts adjacent to the borders of Azerbaijan with Armenia to the west and Iran to the south. The predominantly Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh became disputed between Armenia and Azerbaijan when both countries gained independence from the Russian Empire in 1918. After the Soviet Union established control over the area, in 1923 it formed the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) within the Azerbaijan SSR. In the final years of the Soviet Union, the region re-emerged as a source of dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan, culminating in a large ethnic conflict and, eventually, in the Nagorno-Karabakh War that was fought from 1991 to 1994. On December 10, 1991, as the Soviet Union was dissolving, a referendum held in the NKAO and the neighboring Shahumian region resulted in a declaration of independence from Azerbaijan as the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The country remains unrecognized by any UN-member state, including Armenia. Only Transnistria, a UN non-member, recognises the state. Since the ceasefire in 1994, most of Nagorno-Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan around it remain under joint Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh military control. Representatives of the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have since been holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group.

General remarks: The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons. The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references. Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections. Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries. The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned. The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
