Nagorno-Karabakh: Civilians and churches under fire

Half the population of the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh have been displaced by fighting.

On both sides of the conflict, Armenian and Azeri civilians have been killed.

Within hours of a temporary truce agreed in Moscow, fresh shelling was reported by both Armenian and Azerbaijani forces.

This is not a religious war, but many Armenians are sheltering in churches and fear they may be shelled.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
