On Gmane the attachments can be seen (although at this very moment I
can't reach them, but earlier today I could - I too don't receive BP
messages by e-mail).

I am certain Chris knows that they are not international enclaves -
he explicitely states so on his web site.

"Ethnically disputed" isn't the issue here. I don't deny that the
area is disputed, but so is the whole of NK plus a substantial part
of Azerbaijan. The borders are Soviet borders, and as far as I know
never changed by independent Azerbaijan - probably because they never
had the chance to do so. As long as there is no final solution to the
conflict, the old Soviet boundaries are the only ones to go by. So
they can be considered secundary Azeri boundaries. Or historical
boundaries, if you prefer.
