Karabakh () is a region in
Azerbaijan, extending from the highlands of the
Lesser Caucasus down to the lowlands between the rivers
Kura and
Aras. The highland part of the region became known as
Nagorno-Karabakh (), following the establishment of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast within the
Azerbaijan SSR in
1923. This region declared its independence in
1991 as the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, which remains unrecognized worldwide. Portions of lowland Karabakh have been controlled by
Armenian forces since the
Nagorno-Karabakh War ended in
1993 .
The word "Karabakh" originates from
Turkic and
Persian, literally meaning "black garden", respectively. The placename first appears in
Georgian and Persian sources in the 13th and 14th centuries. Before the 1230's, when the region was conquered by the
Mongols and became known as Karabakh, it was known as
Artsakh and
Utik, two historic regions of
Armenia and
Caucasian Albania.
