Karabakh VS Nagorno-Karabakh VS Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
Karabakh, or Artsakh, is as Vasbourakan noted divided into two: Lernayin and Tashdayin.
Lernayin (Mountainous, Nagorny) is this:

This also corresponds to the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO), a Stalin made fictional border/oblast that divided Karabakh from Armenia and its entirety and reduced it to an enclave and gained its "mountainous" title. Tashdayin is everything surrounding this "Nagorno-Karabakh" that once was under our control.
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) is this:

As you can see, there is a northern branch. This is the occupied province of Shahumian and as witnessed in the previous maps, it was always historically Armenian. So basically, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is all the lands we liberated during the war + occupied Shahumian.
