Background
Nagorno-Karabakh declared its independence from Azerbaijan in 1991. The First Nagorno-Karabakh War took place between 1988 and 1994 which resulted in Nagorno-Karabakh, with Armenian support, becoming de facto independent from Azerbaijan. However it has not been internationally recognised and Azerbaijan still claims the area as part of its state. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4107988.stm Karabakh holds disputed elections 8 March 2009 19 June 2005 BBC Online
