Nagorno-Karabakh - Geography
The region has a total area of 4,400 km², and in 1989, it had a population of 192,000. The population at that time was mainly Armenian (76%) and Azerbaijanis (23%), with Russian and Kurdish minorities. The capital is Stepanakert (Azerbaijani: Xankəndi). Its other major city, today lying partially in ruins, is Shusha (Armenian: Shushi).
The current borders of Nagorno-Karabakh, established in Soviet times, resemble a kidney bean. The bean, whose indentation is on the right side, has very tall mountain ridges along the northern edge, along the west, and the south is just plain mountainous. The part near the indentation of the kidney bean itself is a relatively flat valley, with the two edges of the bean, the provinces of Martakert and Martuni (corresponding to parts of the Azerbaijani rayons of Kalbacar, Tartar and Xocavand), having flat lands as well. Other flatter valleys exist around the Sarsang reservoir, Hadrut, and the south. Much of Nagorno-Karabakh is forested, especially the mountains.
