According to a Hetq publication, since the 2020 war Azerbaijan has occupied, in stages, about 200 sq km of Armenia's sovereign territory, mainly in 2021–2023, in the Gegharkunik, Vayots Dzor and Syunik provinces. The neutral zone is not included in this figure. Some of the lost territories are specially protected natural areas. According to the publication, in 2021–2022 Azerbaijani forces almost entirely seized Lake Sev Lich (Black Lake) in Syunik.
