The forgotten Republics of the Soviet Empire: Nagorno Karabakh
December 29, 2006, Stepanakert, Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan: The Republic of Nagorno Karabakh (NKR) began its secession from Azerbaijan during the final years of the Soviet Union. The breakaway war with Azerbaijan ended in 1994 with an estimated 30,000 dead and nearly 750,000 displaced. While a fragile cease-fire still stands, there is yet to be a peace agreement, leaving the official status of Nagorno Karabakh in a state of limbo. Although it is not recognized by a single nation, the NKR maintains all the governmental trappings of a sovereign state, with an elected president, cabinet, parliament and military.///Arkady strips wood from an abandoned silk factory in order to heat his home..
