The Artsakh republic (formerly Nagorno-Karabagh) was an area within Azerbaijan populated by Armenians. A de facto government, closely allied with Armenia, declared independence in 1992. Rather than adopting the anthem of Armenia, a unique anthem of their own was in use until, due to the war with Azerbaijan, the government of the country collapsed September 28, 2023, formally dissolving the state January 1, 2024.
