Deputy Of The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Badge.

[CtahhR]

Here is the extremely obscure and now obsolete Deputy Of The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Badge. A very modern (probably Armenian) production with the butterfly clasp fasteners. The NKR only has 33 deputies - smaller than all other post-Soviet Union Assemblies (Russian Federation 620, Belarus 260, Georgia 235, Armenia 131, Moldova 101, Transnistria 43, Abkhazia 35, South Ossetia 34) making this now obsolete Badge the rarest national Deputy Badge (Even Gagauzia has 35 Deputies).

In the last few years the NKR has completely purged this Badge and all images of it. I'm not sure of the exact reason, but it makes finding any trace of this extremely difficult.

The Badge features the national flag and the rather stylised letters "ԼՂՀ" (The Armenian letters for NKR).
