From the fourteenth century, the region between the Kura and Araks River became known as Gharabagh or Karabagh (kara in Turkish for black and bagh in Persian for garden or vineyard).
Karabakh is a word of Turkic and Persian origin meaning "black garden", while "Nagorno-" is a Russian word meaning "mountain-". The ethnic Armenians prefer to call the region Artsakh, an ancient Armenian name for the area.
