The Republic of Mountainous Armenia (Republic of Karabakh-Zanghezur) was a short-lived and unrecognized state in the South Caucasus, roughly corresponding with the territory that is now the present-day Armenian province of Syunik and the unrecognized republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The Treaty of Batum was signed between the Democratic Republic of Armenia and the Ottoman Empire after the Armenians lost the last battles of the Caucasus Campaign. The Ottoman Empire initially gained a considerable portion of the South Caucasus with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk signed with the Russian SFSR and then following Treaty of Batum with Armenia. In 1918, Armenia, following these agreements, was hemmed into a small enclave centered around the western shores of Lake Sevan and the cities of Yerevan and Echmiadzin. Andranik Toros Ozanian rejected these new borders and proclaimed the new state, where his activities were concentrated at the link between the Ottoman Empire to the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic at Karabakh, Zanghezur and Nakhichevan, hence the name the "Republic of Karabakh-Zanghezur".

In January 1919, with Armenian troops advancing, the British forces (Lionel Dunsterville) ordered Andranik back to Zangezur, and gave him assurances that this conflict (or the Republic of Karabakh-Zanghezur) could be solved with the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The Paris Peace Conference proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Armenia an internationally recognized state.
