Until 1995, the post was called Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. From January 1992 to December 1994, until Robert Kocharyan was elected as the president of Artsakh, the chairman was de facto the head of state of the republic.
Following an Azerbaijani offensive on 19 September 2023, Artsakh was dissolved on 1 January 2024.[1]
The last speaker was Davit Ishkhanyan of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation.[2]
