== Transnistria, Nagorno-Karabakh, Somaliland, Donetsk Republic and Lugansk Republic ==

Could someone, please, explain exactly why Transnistria, Nagorno-Karabakh and Somaliland are considered as states with limited recognition, while the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics are not? Donetsk and Lugansk P.R. have engaged in international relations (even if it's only with South Ossetia, but Somaliland not even that), since February 2015 they've had stable borders, populations and governments. Like it or not, but that's the reality. I May not particularly like the existence of Northern Cyprus or Transnistria but they exist. Now, given the circumstances and if no further and reasonable explanation is given, I'll take the initiative to remove Somaliland since it has less statehood conditions than the 2 other ones I mentioned. It's a matter of being coherent. Greetings! [[User:Viet-hoian1|Viet-hoian1]] ([[User talk:Viet-hoian1|talk]]) 22:56, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
