== John Senacherib ==
== One-sided intro ==


The intro mentions Armenian conflictuous acts, but nothing on the Azerbaijani side. It would be more neutral to describe the (purported) reasons for those Armenian acts, labelling disputed "facts" as such where needed. That would at least remove the current impression of repeated sudden unprovoked aggression from one side against a purely victim peaceful other side.

== Disputed status of Nagorno-Karabakh ==
The lede says nothing about "ethnic Armenians live here along with some ethnic Azeris", the reader is left wondering "why is Armenia involved with the Artsakhians?" [[Special:Contributions/2603:8001:D300:A631:0:0:0:1D29|2603:8001:D300:A631:0:0:0:1D29]] ([[User talk:2603:8001:D300:A631:0:0:0:1D29|talk]]) 05:35, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

1. The UN recognizes it as a sovereign part of Azerbaijan<br>
== Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 19 September 2022 ==
2. Armenia officially recognizes it as a sovereign part of Azerbaijan<br>
3. The separatist government of the Republic of Artsakh dissolved itself by the official decree<br>
4. There is no de-facto presence of the separatist government in the region and the central government of Azerbaijan controls the entire territory since the end of September 2023.


Isn't it the right time to adjust the wording of the article accordingly? [[User:Kheo17|KHE&#39;O]] ([[User talk:Kheo17|talk]]) 20:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Hereby I want to ask a permission to do a small edit, which I like to add one citation for the history section, specifically regarding the decision to exclude as many as Azerbaijani settlement from NKAO to ensure its Armenian majority.


:The government of the RoA has not technically dissolved itself yet, it declared that it would dissolve by Jan 1 2024.

Disputed status of Nagorno-Karabakh

[edit]

I want to raise a question on the status of the territory. Why is Nagorno-Karabakh still considered a disputed territory?

1. The UN recognizes it as a sovereign part of Azerbaijan
2. Armenia officially recognizes it as a sovereign part of Azerbaijan
3. The separatist government of the Republic of Artsakh dissolved itself by the official decree
4. There is no de-facto presence of the separatist government in the region and the central government of Azerbaijan controls the entire territory since the end of September 2023.

Isn't it the right time to adjust the wording of the article accordingly? KHE'O (talk) 20:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The government of the RoA has not technically dissolved itself yet, it declared that it would dissolve by Jan 1 2024. It's not known yet exactly how many Armenians are left in NK (last credible report stated 50-1,000 but that's probably different now). It may be time to update the status though, I agree.

Point of order but do we know that Armenia recognizes it as part of Azerbaijan? They have no formal relations, so absent an affirmative statement, we can't assume they recognize anything about Azerbaijan. --Golbez (talk) 21:24, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is also true.
