Nagorno Karabakh was a small Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan.
Autonomous since 1921, it became an independent presidential republic after an internal referendum in 1991. Armenians have always perceived Karabakh as their place of origin, the place where it all began, the cradle of their culture,
a bastion of the Christian religion in an area of total Muslim ownership, with its thousands of churches and fortified monasteries. Today Nagorno Karabakh no longer exists. After 9 months of forced isolation of the enclave caused by Azerbaijan, that resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis, the people living in Karabakh had to abandon their homes under Azerbaijani bombardment and take refuge in Armenia on September 25, 2023. The region was emptied, churches razed to the ground, cemeteries destroyed, homes looted. All trace of what was Nagorno Karabakh has been erased. On December 31, 2023, the nation officially disappeared from the international scene. Its existence has even been erased from local history books. Flora Avamenesyan is 67 years old and worked for 40 years in Martakert as a pharmacist. She had six children and fled with them from her home in Karabakh under shelling on 25 September 2023 to take refuge in a bunker. Since then, no one has been able to return home and they had to leave with only the clothes on their backs. She had a photo of herself as a young woman in her bag and that is the only thing she has left of her entire past in Karabakh. She would like to return to her home with all her heart but knows that she will die in Armenia and cannot be buried with her loved ones in Karabakh. She now lives with her two youngest children in a dilapidated mansion in Hrazdan.

Her husband sporadically works as a bricklayer in Hrazdan where they now live together with her mother-in-law in a dilapidated building.

Sevak Harityunyan is 31 years old and managed the village bakery in Taghvard in Karabakh where he lived with his whole family. Until his last day, he tried to bake bread to feed the people of the village who, at the end of the blockade, which the Azeris had maintained for almost a year, no longer had even enough food to survive. Arriving with his entire family in Armenia after a devastating journey that lasted days, he tried to live in many countries but eventually rented a house in Dilijan and opened a small bakery where he sells zhingyalov, an unleavened bread stuffed with different herbs depending on the season, which he bakes himself. The only thing they managed to bring with them from Karabakh is a ring that their mother never takes off.

Janna Shirnyan is 55 years old and has lived in Akanaberd in Nagorno Karabakh all her life. Her husband was a high-ranking army officer and is now wanted by the Azerbaijani army. She never hesitated to pick up her rifle to defend her home and her cattle, but on 25 September 2023 she had to leave everything behind and flee the Azerbaijani bombs. She met her husband at the border and they crossed together with only the clothes on their backs. The only two mementos they have of their past life are a silver necklace and a dagger that her husband got as a gift from a Russian army officer for saving his life. Now they live in Azatamut in a dilapidated building where there is not even gas and running water. They had a beautiful house. Janna had never been out of Karabakh. She desperately wants to return to her home but knows it will not be possible. Her father fled with them but as soon as Armenia arrived, he died of grief.
