The Republic of Artsakh now no longer exists. Four women who are attached to their hometnow believe they can go back and forth as they plthey in 2020, then azerbaijan won, the history of Armenian settlement for thousands of years ends. There is no "once upon a time" in Armenian, but "there was, there was not". Once upon a time, Noah's Ark stopped in Nakhchivan next door, and once upon a time, Karabakh was a paradise that seemed to exist but not exist.
