Nagorno-Karabakh (a de facto independent republic, which
is legally part of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and has
a majority Armenian population). However, most Armenians
live in other countries, and there is perhaps 8 million
people in the Armenian diaspora, including large Armenian
populations in countries
such as
