After a 2023 Azerbaijani offensive and the flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians, the university building was appropriated by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Education for a Karabakh University (Azerbaijani: Qarabağ Universiteti) (also known as Garabagh University) on November 28, 2023, which will start admitting students in 2024.
Students from Artsakh State University have campaigned for the university to resume operations in exile in Armenia.
