Republic of Artsakh, or Nagorno-Karabakh as it also called, is one of the many areas in the world about whose status the international disputes are held. Wars and peace agreements that were happening after the dissolution of the USSR over this area didn’t deliver a final status of Armenian majority Republic of Artsakh on the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The aim of this thesis is to determine the possible developments in relation to the resolution of the status of the disputed region in the light of the events after the war of 2020 between the Armenian and Azerbaijani side which have greatly aggravated the efforts of this region to become an internationally recognized state. By comparing the situation in Artsakh with other examples of unilateral declaration of independence and taking into account three key factors, according to the author, for the successful achievement of independence (international legal, military and geopolitical), the possibilities for achieving international recognition of Artsakh will be considered. The paper will also look at the legal settings of Artsakh's sovereignty, the diplomatic formats used to achieve a solution, the interests of regional powers and also the historical development of the region, which consequently affected its turbulent reality, in which all the problems surrounding it have yet to be resolved.
