Mirror General information Economy Healthcare ... Religion The Cultural and Spiritual Heritage of Nagorno Karabagh Historically Karabagh was the northeastern province of Armenia. The spread of similar forms of economic activity, customs, traditions, religious beliefs, and the same kind of mentality of inhabitants of the entire Armenian plateau brought about the reality that Nagorno Karabagh (Artsakh) along with other regions of Armenia constitutes a single entity in the cultural, economic, and linguistic sense. Numerous archeological facts of the eneolite, bronze and iron ages prove that the culture of Nagorno Karabagh is in fact a branch of a single Armenian culture and a great deal of parallels could be drawn with the monuments of the Armenian Plateau of the same period. Below is the description of cultural monuments, which still exist on the territory of the Artsakh Principality. th century AD, which is the time when Christianity was adopted as Armenian state religion.) There are also monuments of prehistoric age, which are mainly prehistoric campsites, ruins of ancient Armenian settlements, a part of which belong to the Ararat Kingdom (Urartu) and Armenian Kingdom of Ervanids period, sepulchers, cult statuettes of early Armenian epoch, carved stones from Armenian Artashesids dynasty, capitols, various home utensils and coins. Thus, in ancient times (1 st millennium BC) the summer residence of Ararat King Rus I was found on the territory of what is today Istisu village. The largest and the most renowned settlement of pre-Christian period on the territory of Artsakh is the city of Tigranakert, which was founded by the Armenian King Tigran II in the 90-ies BC. Interestingly enough, this was the first out of four cities founded later by Tigran II in the different parts of the Armenian plateau and baring his name. The ruins of that settlement were found on the territory of the present Agdam region near the border of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic.

Festival of Shushi a Runaway Success By Onnik Krikorian SHUSHI, Nagorno KarabaghEvents to launch the Nagorno Karabagh Arts and Music Festival started at 7:00 pm on Saturday, 8 September 2001 against the backdrop of the walls of the old fortress. Hundreds gathered to hear a selection of live music that encompassed musical genres ranging from rock and folk to the traditional. The event started with an hour-long disco for younger members of the audience. The highlight of the five-hour spectacular was Bambir, the internationally renowned folk-rock group from Gyumri, which performed an energetic set that brought young and old alike to their feet. At times blending in Celtic influences with guitar-based Armenian folk-rock and the sound of duduk, kamantcha, and tar, Bambir highlighted the potential for NK Arts to establish Armenian culture in the international arena. "The local is global," and "Art is the Technology of the Soul" were constant themes expressed by NK Arts Founder and Director Neery Melkonian. Armenian dance groups, choirs, singers, and theatrical performers including the Narre Choir, Shushi Traditional Instruments Ensemble, Artsakhi Balikner and the Menk Enk Mer Sarere State Ensemble took the stage alongside Bambir II, the youthful and charismatic offshoot of their namesake that delighted younger members of the audience with technically perfect covers of rock classics by the Yardbirds, the Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix.

Main topics Glossary Refugees Region ... page CULTURAL AND SPIRITUAL HERITAGE OF NAGORNO KARABAGH Historically, Karabagh was the north-eastern province of Armenia. The establishment of the similar forms of economic activities, customs and habits, as well as the general mentality of its inhabitants served as the background on the basis of which Nagorno Karabagh (Artsakh), together with the other regions, represents an integral part of Armenia in the cultural, economic and linguistic aspects. The numerous archeological documents of the eneolite, bronze and iron ages prove that the culture of Nagorno Karabagh, in essence, is one of the branches of the Armenian culture as a whole and has many parallels with the monuments of the Armenian highlands of the same periods. Below the cultural monuments preserved in the territory of Artsakh Principality are considered. Among the monuments of the pre-Christian period remnants of primitive tribal colonies, ruins of ancient Armenian settlements, including the ones belonging to the period of Ararat Kingdom (Urartu) and the succeeding Armenian kingdom of Yervanids, sepulchres, cult statuettes of the Early Armenian age, boundary stones dating back to the Armenian Dynasty of Artashesids, as well as caps, various household utensils and coins are noteworthy. Thus, the summer residence of the Ararat king Rusa I (1st thousand year B.C.) was based in the territory of modern Istisu (Kelbajar). The town of Tigranakert is the largest and most famous settlement in the territory of Artsakh belonging to the pre-Christian period. It was founded by the Armenian king Tigran II in the year 95 B.C. The ruined of Tigranakert were found in the territory of the present region Aghdam near the border of NKR.

Main topics Glossary Refugees Region ... page NAGORNO KARABAGH: PROBLEM AND CONFLICT The purpose of this essay is to outline the methodological aspects of the settlement of the Karabagh problem and conflict. The necessity for consideration of the aforementioned issue arose because recently the negotiation process has become the subject of political speculations and the articulated views seem to be the result of the intentional or unintentional misunderstanding. Besides, very often the key issue is shadowed by the technical aspects, and the redundancy of the details makes it difficult to see the picture in its entirety. Following the logic that all that is new is the well-forgotten past, we would like to refer to the main points that were crucial at the first stage of internationalization of the Karabagh problem. Initially there was the clear understanding that the resolution of the problem should be found at the legal level while the settlement of the conflict should be considered at the political level. However, today the efforts are focused on the settlement of the conflict, and the resolution of the problem is regarded as something supplementary and derivative to the settlement. Moreover, as opposed to the "Karabagh problem" which formerly used to be the subject of discussion, the wording "Karabagh conflict" (or "crisis") is more commonly applied. Both logically and methodologically this is wrong and such approach has a negative impact on the ongoing processes.

Enter recipient's e-mail: Print page Over a decade ago, the Armenians of Mountainous Karabagh (also known as Nagorno-Karabagh, a small region in the Caucasus) stood at the head of the forces leading to the downfall of the Soviet Union during their own struggle for self-determination and freedom from tyranny.  They were forced to fight a bitter battle against Azerbaijani nationalists, the latter at times supported by Soviet military force.  They eventually succeeded in taking control of their ancestral territory, in which they remained a demographic majority.  Today, though the military battles have died down, this land and its people still lie at the crossroads of East and West, and many world powersthe U.S., Russia, France, Iran and Turkey includedattempt to shape the forthcoming peace to suit their own interests. Historical Background: Mediation / Reconciliation Efforts: International mediation efforts had already begun in 1991.  All the major powers of the regionIran, Turkey, and Russiamade attempts, as was to be expected.  The United States, as a world power, and several of the states of Western Europe, also had an interest in the region.  A number of major international organizations, such as the United Nations, were involved.  Even more distant countries like Kazakhstan, or internationally unrecognized countries like Chechnya, offered to mediate the conflict.  Ultimately, it was the Minsk Group of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE, formerly CSCE) which provided the framework for the major mediation effort, which included most of the interested powers with the notable exception of Iran.

FACT SHEET: NAGORNO-KARABAGH ARMENIAN RESEARCH CENTER The University of Michigan-Dearborn Dearborn, MI 48128 The Autonomous Region of Mountainous Karabagh (also known in America as Nagorno-Karabagh) recently declared independence from Azerbaijan because of continued persecution, oppression, and human and civil rights violations by the Azeri Turks. It was attached to Azerbaijan as an Autonomous Region by Joseph Stalin in 1921 and has suffered under Azeri rule from that time onward. Mountainous Karabagh had a pre-war population of approximately 200,000 people, 77% of whom were Christian Armenians. The remaining 23% were mainly Muslim Azeri Turks. Nagorno-Karabagh's capital is Stepanakert. It has an area of about 1,700 square miles, slightly smaller than the state of Delaware. On December 10, 1991, Nagorno-Karabagh held an independence referendum in which 82% of all voters participated, and 99% voted for independence. On January 6, 1992, the leaders of Nagorno-Karabagh declared independence as the Republic of Mountainous Karabagh (RMK). On January 8, 1992, Artur Mkrtchian was elected President and Oleg Yessaian as Prime Minister of Karabagh by Karabagh's Parliament. Note that this Presidency is not an independent office such as in the United States.
