<div id="ygrps-yiv-942073959">It&#39;s a bit of an eternal discussion here. I understand Brendans <br/>
arguments completely, and respect them, but I still differ. The <br/>
exclave is landlocked for sure, but acc. to my opinion, Nakhichevan <br/>
is an exclave to Azerbaijan, because it is detached from the homeland <br/>
by foreign territory. Whose territory is irrelevant here.<br/>
<br/>
According to me!<br/>

PS: Yes, I agree that the words enclave and exclave are used very <br/>
loosely, and too loosely, by &quot;the media&quot;. But then again, who is <br/>
that? Isn&#39;t it just that the meaning of the words are gradually <br/>
shifting? (A tip (money for the waiter) is called &quot;pourboire&quot; in <br/>
French, and &quot;Trinkgeld&quot; in German. But I wonder whether all waiters <br/>
will spend their tips exclusively on booze.;-)) Me too, I don&#39;t like <br/>
it. But I can&#39;t stop it, I&#39;m afraid.<br/>

&gt; &gt; &gt; An exclave is a special type of fragment, one that is surrounded<br/>

&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;Well, that definition is not universally accepted:<br/>
&gt; &gt;the American Heritage Dictionary illustrates &quot;exclave&quot; with <br/>
Cabinda.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; The OED has a proper [ ;-) ] definition for both enclave and <br/>
exclave.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; That plus notable exclave experts confirm &#39;my&#39; definition above.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; This is one problem that &#39;enclave&#39; and &#39;excalve&#39; are used far too <br/>
liberally <br/>
&gt; and slapdashically by the much of the media.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Websters: &quot;a small part of a country lying within the territory of <br/>
another <br/>
&gt; country&#39;.<br/>
&gt; Cabinda does NOT lie &#39;within&#39; another country!<br/>
