Republic of Artsakh doesn't even claim to exist anymore, in 2023 they were amnexed by Azerbaijan and renounced all claims to independence

[@cool_guy87]

Actually, it was on the 1st January 2024, which, to be fair, at the time, was 2023 for the US and UK

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

Didn't their "president" unsuccessfully try to take that back? Though, even if Artsakh no longer exists, there's still a dozen other not-countries around the world to talk about anyway.

[@datev4him1]

Artsakh tried to get its independence, like many other countries after the collapse of the USSR, but they were denied for 30 years. Eventually, Azerbaijan attacked and killed around 7000, and after that it pressured by 9 months of blockade, and were forcefully pushed out of their homes (more than 100.000 Armenians).

[@mikayil1]

@@datev4him1 when will you stop playing the victim?

[@mikayil1]

@@datev4him1 your mindset is really weird. Armenia started the war, occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's land, committed massacres and expelled nearly 1 million Azerbaijanis from the territory. Armenia refused to resolve the conflict peacefully for 30 years. Not a single inch was returned to Azerbaijan. On the contrary, every year, Azerbaijan was insulted, new territorial claims were made to Azerbaijan. Finally, after 30 years, Azerbaijan was forced to restore its INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TERRITORY by military means. What did you expect? Did you expect that you will occupy someone else's territory, expel 1 million people and nothing will happen in return? You playing the victim about a war which you started Sick minded nation

Correction concerning the SADR: 20% of the territory is not controlled by the SARD, but considered as a buffer zone under UN supervision. Morocco technically has indirect control over the region, but nothing is official. The southern part of the territory that separates Morocco from Mauritania is now under direct Moroccan control following an invasion resulting from an incident between Morocco and SADR rebels.

7:46 I believe this is because of China having historic claims to those areas (Qing Dynasty and various other dynasties that came before it) Edit: It came about as a result of them inheriting the Qing's territory, and them declaring the territorial concessions under the Qing as void
