Artsakh featured as Armenian enclave on Austrian Ministry of Defense website


The Ministry of Defense and Sport of Austria has posted on its website (www.bmlv.gv.at) a map which features Nagorno Karabakh as an Armenian enclave.

In that connection, Azerbaijani World Congress plans to voice its protest.

The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in 1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
