Kashatagh Province

User:Archives908, Kashatagh Province does not exist now neither de facto nor de jure. Administrative divisions of the Republic of Artsakh post-2020 is shown here. Horizontal regions striped black are regions claimed as an integral part of Republic of Artsakh controlled by Azerbaijan. --Somerby (talk) 13:38, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest that it be called "While the province is formally controlled by Azerbaijan and Russian peace keepers, it is still claimed by Artsakh as an integral part of the republic." Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:05, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware, that map and all similar ones have been made without sources by Wikipedian guesswork. CMD (talk) 14:22, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CMD, but is there any source which said that Kashatagh Province still exists? --Somerby (talk) 14:58, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources noting its existence. For that it was presumably created in some Artsakh statute, and unless that statute has been repealed or superseded I assume it is still on the books. If nothing else the 2006 constitution remains in force. CMD (talk) 15:42, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CMD, if I recall correctly, in 2006 constitution was written that the public power is exercised on the territory actually under the jurisdiction of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. And not a single law of Artsakh explicitly mentions the Kashatagh Province. --Somerby (talk) 18:22, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was, and in 2006 there was a lot of that. To go back to the initial point, we don't have a source for the purported new maps. They are original research, and more original research here won't change that. CMD (talk) 04:05, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
