The Ethnic Cleansing and Destruction of Nagorno-Karabakh

The Latest Chapter of the Armenian Genocide

From 1991 to 2023, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, also referred to as the Republic of Artsakh, was a democratic, self-governing state. For seventy years prior, from 1921 to 1991, Nagorno-Karabakh was an autonomous district in the USSR. After millennia of existence as an ethno-geographic region inhabited by an indigenous Armenian population, in September 2023, Nagorno-Karabakh was entirely depopulated by Azerbaijani and Turkish forces.

Ethnically cleansing Nagorno-Karabakh of its historic and indigenous Armenian population, with the erasure of its millennial Christian/cultural heritage, and the elimination of its democratic existence, concluded the latest chapter of the Armenian Genocide, the process of the elimination of the Armenian people from their ancestral homelands.
