The president of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Samvel Shahramanyan, has signed a decree to dissolve all state institutions and organizations by January 1, 2024. This means that the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will cease to exist on that date, TuraNews.kz reports.
The decree comes after Azerbaijan began implementing anti-terrorist measures in Nagorno-Karabakh on September 19, 2023. The decree calls on the population to familiarize themselves with the “conditions for reintegration presented by Azerbaijan in order to make a decision on the possibility of staying (returning) to Nagorno-Karabakh.”
The decree came into force immediately after publication.
