THE president of the self-declared Republic of Artsakh which governs the disputed South Caucasus region of Nagorno-Karabakh, said on Thursday that the country will cease to exist from Jan. 1, 2024.

Samvel Shahramanyan, the president of Artsakh, signed a decree to that effect, according to reports from Armenian media.

The Republic of Artsakh on Thursday decided to dissolve its subordinate authorities by January 1, 2024, following its defeat by Azerbaijan, the report said, citing the document signed by Shahramanyan.

“The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (Artsakh) ceases to exist” from then, the document added.

It said the decision was taken because of the “current military-political situation” and was aimed at protecting the security and lives of the population in Nagorno-Karabakh. (www.nannews.ng) (dpa/NAN)
