Nagorno-Karabakh, known as Artsakh by Armenians, is a mountainous region at the southern end of the Karabakh mountain range, within Azerbaijan.
It is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan, but its inhabitants are predominantly ethnic Armenians.
They have their own government which is close to Armenia but not officially recognised by Armenia or any other country.
