Martuni District (NKAO)

Martuni District was one of the five raions or administrative districts of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic (AzSSR).[1][2] In 1991 the parliament of the newly established Republic of Azerbaijan abolished passed the Law on Abolishment of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast which had the effect of also abolishing Martuni District. The district's territory was incorporated into the neighbouring Azerbaijani Khojavend District. This abolition was not recognised by the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Today, the majority of Martuni District is under the de facto control of the Artsakh Defense Army. The Republic of Artsakh has renamed the district as Martuni Province and has added some territory land captured during the Nagorno-Karabakh War to the province. The eastern part of Martuni District remains in Azerbaijani control.

gollark: Anyway, this is... somewhat orthogonal to the main point here: that advertising is almost certainly affecting you a bit.
gollark: So if you buy a phone which got 4.5 stars or something, then you see another cheaper one with equally good reviews, you'll send the old one back...?
gollark: How will you actually know if the Voxel was going to work the same as the oPhone, though?
gollark: Let's imagine you're buying a phone or something. Imagine there are two types of phone: the Orange oPhone XIIX+MAX and the Goggle Voxel 4. They might work exactly the same for you, unrealistically, but the Orange oPhone is more expensive. You were influenced a bit because of advertising, and because of that bought an oPhone over a Voxel.
gollark: Or a mildly worse but better-advertised one, because stuff rarely works exactly the same.
