Western Armenia protects Artsakh, it protects not only Nagorno-Karabakh, but also Northern Artsakh, where ethnic cleansing took place between 1988 and 1992, with the capture of the town of Artsvashen. As a protector and defender of human rights, Western Armenia does not consider the policy of “Genocide against Territories” as part of international law. Therefore, Artsakh will never be part of Azerbaijan.

More than 40 all-Armenian villages in the Shamkor, Dashkesan (Karhat) and Khanlar (Hellendorf) regions of northern Artsakh, together occupying an area almost the size of the former Nagorno-Karabakh, were depopulated in January 1990.

We present the Armenian villages of Shamkor, Dashkesan (Karhat) and Khanlar (Hellendorf) regions.
