Tilt-Shift: „Nagorno Karabakh – Arthsakh“

Joerg Daiber schenkt uns mit „Nagorno Karabakh – Arthsakh“ ein weiteres Kapitel seiner LittleBigWorld (zuvor hier im Blog). Wer wie ich nicht so ganz darüber informiert ist, wo das liegt: Die Republik Arzach hieß bis 2017 noch Bergkarabach und liegt in Westasien.

„The landlocked mountainous region of Nagorno-Karabakh is the subject of an unresolved dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The territory is internationally considered to be part of Azerbaijan, but mostly governed by the Republic of Artsakh (formerly named Nagorno-Karabakh Republic), a de facto independent state with an Armenian ethnic majority.“

„A ceasefire signed in 1994 provided for two decades of relative stability, which significantly deteriorated along with Azerbaijan’s increasing frustration with the status quo, at odds with Armenia’s efforts to cement it. A four-day ecalation in April 2016 became the deadliest ceasefire violation to date. Since then, the possibility of resumed major hostilities has greatly increased. So obvioulsy this is not a touristy area and travelling there is highly dicouraged by most organisations.
