Examples
In 1920, two Kurdish-inhabited areas of Jewanshir (capital Kalbajar ) and eastern Zangazur (capital Lachin ) were combined to form the Kurdistan Okrug (or "Red Kurdistan").
The separatists are retaining control over most of Karabakh’s Soviet-era territory and some 2,000 Russian peacekeepers have deployed along frontline areas and to protect the Lachin corridor, which connects Karabakh with Armenia.
They don't need to set up a corridor between Karabakh and Armenia through that tiny 5-kilometer stretch of Azerbaijan's territory, sometimes referred to as the Lachin Corridor.
The closer the Azerbaijani troops will get to Lachin and/or Qubadli corridor, the more active – and perhaps more muscular – Russia’s response will be.
