Artsakh (officially the Republic of Artsakh; /ˈɑːrtsæx/; Armenian: Արցախի Հանրապետություն, Artsakhi Hanrapetutyun), or the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (/nəˌɡɔːrnoʊ kærəˈbæk/),[3] was a separatist state in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the South Caucasus. It controlled its own land but is legally part of Azerbaijan.
The names 'Republic of Artsakh' and 'Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh' are identical.
