The Armenian-controlled territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh are areas formally part of Soviet Azerbaijan and situated outside the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast, which are since the end of the Karabakh War controlled by the military forces of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic supported by Armenia.〔(Нужны ли российские миротворцы в Нагорном Карабахе ) 〕〔Human Rights Watch. (Playing the "Communal Card". Communal Violence and Human Rights. ) ("By early 1992 full-scale fighting broke out between Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians and Azerbaijani authorities.") / ("...Karabakh Armenian forces -often with the support of forces from the Republic of Armenia- conducted large-scale operations...") / ("Because 1993 witnessed unrelenting Karabakh Armenian offensives against the Azerbaijani provinces surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh...") / ("Since late 1993, the conflict has also clearly become internationalized: in addition to Azerbaijani and Karabakh Armenian forces, troops from the Republic of Armenia participate on the Karabakh side in fighting inside Azerbaijan and in Nagorno-Karabakh.")〕〔Human Rights Watch. ( The former Soviet Union. Human Rights Developments. ) ("In 1992 the conflict grew far more lethal as both sides -the Azerbaijani National Army and free-lance militias fighting along with it, and ethnic Armenians and mercenaries fighting in the Popular Liberation Army of Artsakh- began...")〕〔United States Institute of Peace. (Nagorno-Karabakh Searching for a Solution. Foreword. ) ("Nagorno-Karabakh’s armed forces have not only fortified their region, but have also occupied a large swath of surrounding Azeri territory in the hopes of linking the enclave to Armenia.")〕〔United States Institute of Peace. (Sovereignty after Empire. Self-Determination Movements in the Former Soviet Union. Hopes and Disappointments: Case Studies. ) ("Meanwhile, the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh was gradually transforming into a full-scale war between Azeri and Karabakh irregulars, the latter receiving support from Armenia.") / ("Azerbaijan's objective advantage in terms of human and economic potential has so far been offset by the superior fighting skills and discipline of Nagorno-Karabakh's forces. After a series of offensives, retreats, and counteroffensives, Nagorno-Karabakh now controls a sizable portion of Azerbaijan proper (...), including the Lachin corridor.")〕 ==Nomenclature== These areas have also been referred to as: * Seven occupied territories of Azerbaijan surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh 〔(Report of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs' Field Assessment Mission to the Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan Surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh )〕 * Security belt of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic * Buffer zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic * Liberated areas of Nagorno-Karabakh 〔Robert H.
