For our subscribers: Though the map has barely changed, we’ve just published an in-depth article and timeline on territory and conflict related events in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in the two months since Armenian withdrawals were completed under the ceasefire deal.
Among those events: A battle over villages held by holdout forces, a siege across the ceasefire line, and the contentious re-establishment of the border between southern Armenia and Azerbaijan.

From earlier this week, PolGeoNow’s subscriber map of territorial control in Azerbaijan and Armenia’s war over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region has been updated to show the front lines as known at the time the new peace deal went into effect.
This PolGeoNow map was also used as the source for a map that appears in this week’s edition of The Economist magazine.

Erdogan is facist scum for outright supporting Azerbaijan, but are we going to just ignore that no other country is benefiting from this conflict more than Russia? Not only did they create the issue by first colonising the Caucasus and then declaring Artsakh part of Azerbaijan during the soviet period, but now conveniently have a military base within Armenia (right next to its border with Georgia) while also providing 40% percent of Azerbaijan’s military equipment
I was recently inspired to write a song for the people of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabagh). These people have lived on those lands for thousands of years. They have struggle but also great beauty written on their forheads. The whimsical appropriation of land by an empire (Stalin) placed them under Azerbaijan. They have since gained their independence and have lived a prosperous existence for the last 20 or so years. I do not believe in wars and ultimately borders but i deeply believe in self determination and life without oppression. Therefor it is time for the world to recognize them as the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabagh). - Serj Tankian
Translated Lyrics (English)
We’ve always lived on these lands,
Reaped and Harvested these fields,
Generations sprung from your rivers,
Children born from your mountains,
The public mask of tradition,
The struggle for liberation or death,
The enemy’s gaze at your terrain,
Our smiles at your bosom,
At your bottomless will.
We’re going to sing with our fists
With the tricolor flag of justice,
Humanitarian love of peace
With the holy blessing of a child’s face,
We are going to prevail with culture
We are going to prevail with culture
We are going to prevail by being Armenian.
Armenia, Armenians and our Armenian brothers and sisters in Artsakh, although headed into a brighter future are constantly reminded of the bleak and dark past. Sometimes the present seems to resemble the past all too well. One thing that is most certainly the same is the fire in the people of Artsakh that burns for freedom. And that will never change, or be broken.
