More than a month after the end of the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, peace remains fragile.
The ceasefire was violated at the end of last week in the south of the region, the first incident since the entry into force on November 10 of a cessation of hostilities agreement, which recorded an Armenian military rout and granted 'important territorial gains for Azerbaijan.
Publicity
At the end of 44 days of a war that left thousands dead on both sides, the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh republic, populated almost exclusively by Armenians, continues to exist, but it is weakened and diminished.
The only road that connects it to Armenia, the Lachine Corridor, is monitored by Russian forces.
Since the end of hostilities, a majority of the 150,000 inhabitants of Nagorno-Karabakh have made their way back, but there, living conditions remain difficult, as our special envoys Anastasia Becchio and Julien Boileau noted.
