I know it's different, I specified their status. and I have been to Transnistria, so I know how it works there. Also, even the break-away regions behave differently themselves when it comes to their own recognition - f.ex. Transnistria doesn't stamp your passport and on the Trans./Moldova border you don't get an entry stamp of Moldova either (because, well, formally, you are in Moldova), while Karabah gives stamps and with that stamp you can't go to Azerbaijan (my friend was denied entry).
