Stamps are a unique way of recognizing the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
It has been 12 years that stamps with the state symbols of Artsakh
are freely exported to diverse countries of the world. Though
Azerbaijan, as it could be expected, is against this postal export,
ArtsakhPost state company is enlarging its activities with success.
ArtsakhPost issued its next 3 stamps lately in 15.000 copies. “The
Golden Horse” is the most attractive one. Interestingly, Azerbaijan
issued a stamp with the same name aiming to appropriate the famous
Karabakh horse. Director of ArtsakhPost says that tourists visiting
Karabakh are the main customers of the stamps. Very often they send
packages with Artsakh stamps to their countries, sometimes such remote
ones as America or Australia. Director assures that all the packages
and envelopes always get the addressee.
