Parliamentary elections were held in the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic on 3 May 2015.[1]
Background
Nagorno-Karabakh declared its independence from Azerbaijan in 1991. A conflict 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.[2]
