History

There are two points of note here:

One is the claim Armenian forces took the region, rather than simply controlled or administered it. Despite being reverting it is not clear if this is in dispute. If there is no dispute please don't mass-revert. Second is describing the capture of the village as a recapture. Capture is an appropriate term that describes what has happened. We should use clear unambiguous language, which "capture" is. Recapture implies either that the region was previously captured by the enemy (OED) or to capture again (Meriam Webster). Neither of these demonstrably happened. We shouldn't be using the term "recapture" as a catch-all term for when secessionist state loses territory Maidyouneed (talk) 18:32, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1st claim is in dispute. It was controlled/administred by Azerbaijan SSR, direct precursor of Azerbaijan republic. It was then taken by self-proclaimed NKR.

2nd claim is in dispute. The self-proclaimed "Secessionist state" in question is not legitamate, it was not there to begin with, it took the territory in question in opposition to local and international law. It captured the territory which by local and international jurisdiction is Azerbaijani, which was later recaptured.

This is a non-issue. I suggest we get a 3rd party opinion. - Creffel (talk) 20:14, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
