Regimental locations

 

This list is not completely accurate: some of these regiments may have disbanded and there may be others not on our list. A problem we face is that our local person was not available in time to correlate place names, which are at times spelled differently by Armenia and Azerbaijan, and then spelled differently in the English-medium press.

 

In the event you wonder how so many Armenian units are on NK territory when the latter is an island wholly surrounded by Azerbaijan,  Armenia is in control of 7 Azeri districts including one bordering Iran, and is thus contiguous to NK. Maps do not show this as the occupation of 20% of Azerbaijan is not accepted by the world community.
