REPORTAGE - Bergkarabach von Polaris
December 27, 2006, Askeran, 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.///During and after the breakaway war with Azerbaijan, Karabakhi-Armenians burned and destroyed not only Azeri villages and town quarters but also desacrated Azeri Muslim mosques and cemetaries like this one..
