** 18-Oct-2020 World View: Armenian-occupied territories
My understanding is that these are territories that were captured by
Armenia in the 1992-94 war, are populated and controlled by Armenians,
like Nagorno-Karabakh, but are not part of the "Republic of Artsakh,"
which is the name given by Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh, which it says
it would like to be an independent nation. I've heard Armenian
officials refer to these territories as "buffer zones" between
Arksakh and Azerbaijan.
