The flag of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, a de facto independent republic located in the Nagorno-Karabakh region (or Artsakh region) of the Republic of Azerbaijan located in South Caucasus, is derived from the flag of Armenia, with only a white pattern added. The flag was adopted on June 2, 1992.[1] This symbolises the Armenian heritage, culture and population of the area and represents Nagorno-Karabakh as being a separated region of Armenia by the triangular shape and the zigzag cutting through the flag. The pattern is also similar to the designs used on rugs.
