In this publication we have as far as possible used the names employed at the onset of the conflict. Thus for example we have used Stepanakert rather than Khankendi and Shusha rather than Shushi.
Any writing on unrecognized political formations faces the minefield of how to refer to institutions and political posts lacking international legitimacy. Some authors express this ambiguity through the use of inverted commas, e.g. the ‘republic’ or the ‘president’. In this publication we have opted not to use this approach for the sake of ease of reading. We refer to such institutions and posts as unrecognized or de facto.
