Artsakh advocacy
Artsakh advocacy refers to efforts aimed at supporting and promoting the rights and self-determination of the people in the region of Artsakh, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh. This region has a predominantly ethnic Armenian population and has sought independence from Azerbaijan since the late 1980s. Advocacy efforts can include raising awareness, organizing campaigns, and lobbying governments to recognize Artsakh's right to self-determination. The situation is complicated by historical tensions, conflicts, and geopolitical interests, making advocacy critical for those who believe in the autonomy and rights of Artsakh’s residents amidst ongoing disputes.
