Karabakh six years on: remembering the fallen and building for peace
There are years in the memory of history that do not fit into the pages of a calendar, carrying the burden of years and centuries onto a handful of land. The dark shadow that fell over Karabakh in the early 1990s divided the lives of millions of people into two halves: the burning longing of the gloomy years and the hopes that were silently suffocating in a corner of rooms. The bitter defeat of the First Karabakh War, the children and elderly people displaced from their homes, the people who could see their native homeland only in their dreams – this was the quiet yet unbearable pain that a nation endured deep inside every day for three decades.
