Artsakh University

Artsakh State University (Armenian: Արցախի Պետական Համալսարան) was a university in Stepanakert, the oldest and largest university in the self-proclaimedRepublic of Artsakh. Over the course of its 50-year history, Artsakh State University produced over 20,000 graduates in 60 fields of study.

After the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive and the flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians, the university building was appropriated by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Education for Karabakh University (Azerbaijani: Qarabağ Universiteti) on November 28, 2023, which started admitting students in 2024.

Students from Artsakh State University have campaigned for the university to resume operations in exile in Armenia.
