NKR atlas published
By the order of Real Estate Cadastre under the NKR Government, the Geodesy and Cartography Center of Cadastre's State Committee compiled the NKR Atlas and prepared it for publication in Armenian and Russian languages. After two years' preparation work (2007-09), the atlas was recently published at the Tigran Mets publishing office in Yerevan.
It gives full historical-geographical notion of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. About 70 medium- and large-scale maps, texts, and schemes comprised therein provide comprehensive information about NKR's formation, geographical location, natural conditions and resources, as well as population, economy and culture. The atlas also introduces the reader to the geopolitical and military-political events which played a crucial role in the history of the Artsakh Armenians.
The atlas is available in 1.500 copies. Chair of the editorial staff and Editor-in-Chief is Candidate of Technical Sciences Manuk Vardanian, NKR Foreign Ministry's Press Service reports.
