Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, is a landlocked region in the South Caucasus. Stepanakert is the capital and the largest city of the Republic of Artsakh (better known as Nagorno-Karabakh). Soldiers and cadets standing on a sunny Sunday morning at War Memorial. Ceremony for Ashot Ghulyan (1959-1992), also known as Bekor (Shard). He was an Armenian military leader, killed during the Nagorno-Karabakh war (1988 -1994), and awarded the Hero of Artsakh honorary title. Since 1994, regular peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group have failed to result in a peace treaty. Nagorno-Karabakh is a disputed territory, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but most of the region is governed by the Republic of Artsakh (formerly named Nagorno-Karabakh Republic), a de facto independent state with Armenian ethnic population. The territory is under the control of the Artsakh Defense Army (which is backed up by Armenian Army) due to the ongoing territorial disputes with Azerbaijan. A cadet is a trainee. The term is frequently used to refer to those training to become an officer in the military. 6.10.2019 © 2019 Didier Ruef
