Story of the Week of October 13, 2020 on zReportage.com: ‘THE LONG WAR: Fight For Nagorno-Karabakh’ zReportage #757 by Award winning ZUMA Press Photographer Celestino Arce who is covering this breaking story in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, also there are TASS News Agency photographers Sergei Bobylev and Valery Sharifulin: One of the world’s longest-standing frozen conflicts has now flared up into war. The risk of wider military conflict is escalating in Nagorno-Karabakh, the border region claimed by both Armenia and Azerbaijan, due to the failure of mediation efforts, increased militarization, and frequent cease-fire violations. In late September 2020, heavy fighting broke out along the border-the most serious escalation since 2016. More than three hundred soldiers and civilians have been killed, with hundreds more wounded on both sides. Although UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the UN Security Council, and countries like the United States and Russia have called for an end to hostilities, Armenia and Azerbaijan have rejected pressure to hold talks. Instead, they have pledged to continue fighting and have further escalated tensions by switching from cross-border shelling to the use of longer-range artillery and other heavy weaponry.
