Starting next year, the self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will no longer exist, as its president has issued a decree to dissolve all state institutions in the aftermath of its defeat by Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani victory led to a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians residing in Nagorno-Karabakh and marked the conclusion of long-standing conflicts. President Samvel Shahramanyan's decree mandates the dissolution of all institutions and organizations of the Republic of Artsakh, an entity not internationally recognized, by the beginning of the upcoming year.
