This issue brings to the surface an interesting question:
When does a self-ruled region (e.g. Kurdistan, Democratic Republic of Armenia of 1918-1920, NKR) become a state?
1. When leaders of the region and their constituents declare there land to be a state when no other nations explicitly consent to said declaration?
2. When some nations declare the region to be a state but the self-ruled region is not joined in the declaration.
3. When some nations declare the region to be a state and the self-ruled region is joined in the declaration.
4. When all existing nations declare the region to be a state.
