Nagorno-Karabakh: behind the fighting
On September 27, the first bombs fell on Nagorno-Karabakh, this state populated by Armenians and not recognized by the international community: Azerbaijan, supported by Turkey, claims what it considers to be its territory.
Since then, nearly half of the 140,000 inhabitants of Nagorno-Karabakh have been displaced, mainly women and children.
The diaspora is mobilizing to send aid there and the international community is trying to establish a lasting ceasefire.
