Armenia occupied Karabagh region and also other districts of Azerbaijan connecting it to Armenia. After its defeat Armenia had to return all the Azerbaijani lands outside the disputed Karabagh region to Azerbaijan. Those are the lands they returned to Azerbaijan. Nearly 70% Karabagh region is still occupied by the Armenians and protected by the Russian troops.
It's the former autonomous Soviet oblast of Nagorno-Karabakh. I was simply labeling the entire area occupied by Armenian forces until 2020 as "Karabakh" to simplify, ie I was including the surroundings that were annexed by Armenians. The lands which Armenians returned to Azarbaijan constitute around 70% of the total area they used to occupy. But yes, when it comes to the geographic and administrative names, you are correct indeed, Karabakh proper is still mostly in Armenian hands.
