the embassy of Azerbaijan in China ( <br/>

that they call this occupation illegal. Armenian sites all question <br/>
the Soviet maps that show the enclave, of course (calling it a dirty <br/>
trick played upon them by Moscow).<br/>
<br/>
So de facto the enclave is no more, but de jure, in my opinion, it <br/>
will continue to be there until some agreement is reached on its <br/>
status - Azeri or Armenian.<br/>
