The President of Artsakh is the head of state of the unrecognized Republic of Artsakh.
In the constitutional referendum held in 2017, citizens voted in favor of transforming Artsakh into a presidential system. On 19 July 2017 the National Assembly voted to elect the President for the next three years until the next general election which will be held in 2020. The incumbent Bako Sahakyan was re-elected. If it wasn’t for the amendment to the constitution, he would have had to step down in 2017 after serving two consecutive five-year terms.
This is a list of the Presidents of the Republic of Artsakh and the holders of the precursor to the office.
