Documenting suspected war crimes from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

FOCUS © FRANCE 24

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Armenia and Azerbaijan have been fighting for control of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is mainly populated by Armenians but internationally recognised as lying within Azerbaijan's borders. A particularly bloody conflict in 2020 enabled Baku to recover a large part of the territory. Both countries have been accused of committing war crimes over the years. International judicial proceedings are slow, amplifying fears that such atrocities will be repeated with impunity while victims and their families remain in a state of uncertainty. Our Armenia correspondent Taline Oundjian went to meet some of them.

Warning: viewers may find some of the images and descriptions in this report upsetting.
