NKR people consider themselves Armenians of Karabakh, not just Armenians
Turin University Professor Luca Guiduzzi introduced the results of his studies in Nagorno Karabakh during a round table discussion hosted Friday by Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS).

"During the 45 days I spent in Karabakh, I tried to understand the mentality of the people living there," he said, stressing the importance of realizing a country's past before conducting studies into its present.

"Karabakh war has strongly affected the people's character. That was the war of Armenians struggling for their independence," Guiduzzi said.

According to the Italian Professor, NKR people consider themselves Armenians of Karabakh, not just Armenians.
