It is a controversial ballot in a bitterly-disputed territory.
Azerbaijan's breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region has been voting on a
proposed constitution. It comes 15 years to the day since a referendum
in which it declared independence.
But, for the international community, it is not a sovereign state.
Nagorno-Karabakh officially remains part of Azerbaijan. This, is
despite the fact that it has been controlled by Armenian separatists
since armed conflict erupted in the early 1990s.

The fighting was the bloodiest of the separatist wars that broke out
when the Soviet Union disintegrated. Some 35,000 people died. A fragile
ceasefire has been in force for over a decade. But the conflict is
still unresolved and exchanges of gunfire continue.
