Definitely Azerbaijani. Armenians were moved there in 1828. In the Middle Ages,it was part of Caucasian Albania - the people who took part in the ethnogenesis of the Azeri nation. Armenian scholars admit this fact. Armenians arrived in Nagorno Karabakh in the 19th century. In 1992 Armenia invade Azerbaijan and occupied this ancient Azerbaijani land and committed crimes against humanity in Khojali.

Is Nagorno-Karabakh part of Georgia Armenia or Azerbaijan?
Armenian, Azerbaijan and Georgia are the three neighbor countries situated in the Transcaucasus region, and were three of the 15 countries in the former Soviet Union. Nagorno-Karabagh is a Historical Armenian land, populated 98% by Armenians. After the USSR collapse The Nagorno Karbagh declared its desire to be a part of its motherland-Armenia, but Azerbeijan wanted to make the territory its. A war happened and Armenians heroically defended their lands and now the Nagorno Karabagh is independent. However, Armenia and Azerbeijan are in ceasefire and negotiations are in progress.
How did the Armenians recover from the genocide?
The Armenian Genocide has had a profound effect on the Armenian psyche. Firstly, the Turkish government's failure to recognize the genocide and to strongly advocate against it has horribly affected Turkish-Armenian Relations, leading to bare recognition the countries. This failure on the part of many countries to recognize the Armenian genocide means that, unlike the Jews, they cannot take a small bit of solace in knowing that the people who masterminded the violence have paid. Most of the leaders like Mehmed Talaat, Ismail Enver, and Ahmed Djemal were illegally assassinated by Armenians after the war without any hearing of their crimes. Secondly, the Armenian homeland was completely stripped of Armenians save for the small part in Russia/Soviet Union at the time. Entire villages were erased, others repopulated with people from central Anatolia, and most of the surviving villages were given new Turkish-language names. Many historic Armenian churches were destroyed completely. This full-scale overwriting of Armenian history on the land has had a profound effect on Armenians, giving rise to several irredentist movements in the past. In the present most Armenians agree that the land is now too Turk-ified and Kurdish to be Armenian land anymore, but some will search for any trace of where their family once came from. Finally, it buttressed the Armenian nationalist desires. Unfortunately no great power was willing to support Armenian nationalism after Atatürk was able to reverse the Treaty of Sèvres and remove the Kurdish and Armenian states. This prevented Armenians from having their own country until 1991. This nationalism also manifested in the Wars of Nagorno-Karabakh, in which Armenians attacked sovereign Azerbaijani territory because a large percentage of ethnic Armenians live in certain enclave. Currently, the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains under illegal Armenian Occupation.

This depend on the definition of countries. The United Nations recognises 192 nations. However, the number of sovereign states is 193. The one sovereign state that is not a member of the United Nations is the Vatican City. To add to the confusion, there are 10 other states that do have control over their own land, but are not widely recognised as nations by members of the United Nations. These states are Abkhazia, Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh, Northern Cyprus, Palestine, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Somaliland, South Ossetia, Taiwan and Transnistria. So there are either 192, 193, 202 or 203 countries. You decide.
What ended Armenian GEnocide?
The Armenian Genocide ended when the Armenian community on the Eastern part of the land beat the Turkish in the battle of Sardarabad, consequently ended their killing rampage on Armenian soil. Most of the Armenians in western cities were killed in a systematic killing by ethnicity and many cities captured by the Turks. However the Armenian Genocide has not truly ended because the Turks still deny that this great atrocity happened and the last stage of genocide is denial. Also Armenians in Turkey are still being killed for speaking their mind about the events of 1915. Recently an Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was killed for reporting about the Armenian Genocide. ----- 'Armenian Genocide' ended because what was intented as 'genocide' was done. What was intended was to isolate Turkish and Armenian populations which were nearly between a civil war. As Armenians were only %20 of these provinces in East they were deported to Russia and todays Syria. In 1922 Turkish Nationalist Army won against Democratic Republic of Armenia thus a peace treatry is signed.
