The Nakhchivan Autonomous
The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan recognizes its sovereignty, but as it is not an independent nation, this is not regarded as official diplomatic recognition. The Gambia announced plans to recognize this nation in May, 2005,* but the UN Security Council has condemned its 1983 declaration of independence as legally invalid, calling for all member nations to refuse recognition. FTP, so goes the fortunes of what nation, formally recognized only by Turkey and located on the northern 1/3 of an eastern Mediterranean island?
