Cover - Nagorno Karabakh, Country #106

My first cover from Nagorno Karabakh. This cover was sent to me from the city of Stepanakert, the capital and largest city of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, a de facto country.

Most interesting fact about the country is that, it is not a member of the UPU. However the fact that the cover arrived to me indicates that its stamps are valid. My SG catalog doesn't list all of the stamps issued, only stamps from 1993 to 1998.

    1. Yes Eva. Nagorno Karabakh is one of those elusive countries from where one can get covers. Many cover collectors try hard to get covers from there and are still waiting or trying. I got mine from a freind on Facebook. I will update this post later with more about the country and the stamps on this cover maybe.

    1. Thanks Emilio. You have a good cover collection yourself and have covers from a lot of countries I still do not have covers of. I have visited your blog a few times. Good stuff. Keep it up.
