In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Nagorno-Karabakh.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Nagorno-Karabakh, officially the Republic of Artsakh is an unrecognised republic in the South Caucasus. The region is considered by the UN to be part of Azerbaijan, but is under the control of ethnic Armenian separatists.
2. The predominantly Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh was claimed by both the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the First Republic of Armenia when both countries became independent in 1918 after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and a brief war over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out in 1920. During the fall of the Soviet Union, the region re-emerged as a source of dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Large-scale ethnic conflict led to the 1991–1994 Nagorno-Karabakh War, which ended with a ceasefire that left the current borders.
3. Full-scale fighting erupted in the late winter of 1992. International mediation by several groups including the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) failed to bring an end resolution that both sides could work with. As many as 230,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan and 800,000 Azerbaijanis from Armenia and Karabakh have been displaced as a result of the conflict.
4. Stepanakert is the capital and largest city of the country. Extremely clean, green cozy, it’s the cultural and economic hub of the republic, hosting the governmental buildings and parliament, as well as a number of entertainment places, parks and restaurants.
5. Artsakh is also home to Azokh cave, another less known yet must-see tourist destination in the country. The most noteworthy fact about this six-cave complex is that it is considered one of the most oldest places of proto-human remains in Eurasia!
6. Shushi — the historic capital of Karabakh and formerly one of the cultural capitals of the Caucasus; has lots to see, although the town is largely in ruins from the war and is a shell of its former self.
7. Agdam was a city in Southern Azerbaijan. Today the city which bustled with life just 15 years ago is under Nagorno-Karabakh control, completely deserted and in ruins; it is known as the Hiroshima of Azerbaijan and is under Armenian control. Officials of Nagorno-Karabakh advise travelers to stay away from the city, due to its close approximaty to Azerbaijan border.

Azokh, Artsakh: an Archeological Trove
(English-language video. For the Armenian version, visit
The Azokh Cave, a six-chamber cave complex near the village of Azokh, in Artsakh’s Hadrut Region, is one of the world’s most important archeological sites. Findings from the site include 1.19-million-year-old hominid remains, bones of 43 types of animals, and over 6,000 stone instruments and other objects. The Azokh Cave is considered to have housed some of the earliest groups of proto-humans in Eurasia.
In recent years, an international archeological team headed by Tanya King has conducted systematic excavations at Azokh. These expeditions have led to the publication of a landmark archeological book about Azokh, and provided local residents with seasonal jobs as well as hands-on archeological experience.
The village of Azokh is also the site of a number of vitally important development projects implemented by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, including the construction of the community’s school and water network. The nearby North-South Highway was likewise built by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.

Artsakh’s Aquatic Beauty
(Armenian-language video. For the English version, visit
The Hunot Gorge State Reserve, near Shushi, is one of Artsakh’s most beautiful destinations. Tucked among imposing mountains, the Hunot canyon is a hiker’s paradise, featuring caves, winding trails, and ancient ruins. The main attraction, however, is an awe-inspiring aquatic beauty: a moss-covered, umbrella-shaped rock formation, also known as Moss Rock, with an intricate waterfall cascading over the rocks and a pool of water beneath them.
The Hunot Gorge State Reserve is a major tourist site, drawing visitors from throughout the globe.

Azerbaijan ( ( listen) AZ-ər-by-JAHN; Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan [ɑːzæɾbɑjˈd͡ʒɑn]), officially the Republic of Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Respublikası [ɑːzæɾbɑjˈd͡ʒɑn ɾespublikɑˈsɯ]), is a country in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is bounded by the Caspian Sea to the east, Russia to the north, Georgia to the northwest, Armenia to the west and Iran to the south. The exclave of Nakhchivan is bound by Armenia to the north and east, Iran to the south and west, and has an 11 km long border with Turkey in the northwest.
The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic proclaimed its independence in 1918 and became the first democratic state in the Muslim-oriented world. The country was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1920 as the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. The modern Republic of Azerbaijan proclaimed its independence on 30 August 1991, prior to the official dissolution of the USSR in December 1991. In September 1991, the Armenian majority of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region seceded to form the Republic of Artsakh. The region and seven adjacent districts outside it became de facto independent with the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994. These regions are internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan pending a solution to the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh, found through negotiations facilitated by the OSCE.The sovereign state of Azerbaijan is a unitary semi-presidential republic. It's a member state of the Council of Europe, the OSCE, and the NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) program. It is one of six independent Turkic states and an active member of the Turkic Council and the TÜRKSOY community. Azerbaijan has diplomatic relations with 158 countries and holds membership in 38 international organizations. It is one of the founding members of GUAM, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. A member of the United Nations since 1992 after its independence, Azerbaijan was elected to membership in the newly established Human Rights Council by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 May 2006. Its term of office began on 19 June 2006. Azerbaijan is also a member state of the Non-Aligned Movement, holds observer status in World Trade Organization, and is a correspondent at the International Telecommunication Union.The Constitution of Azerbaijan does not declare an official religion and all major political forces in the country are secularist. However, the majority of the population are of Muslim background. More than 89% of the population is Shia. Most Azerbaijanis, however, do not actively practice any religion, with 53% stating religion has little to no importance in their lives, according to Pew Research Center and Gallup polls. Alcohol and non-Islamic places are also permitted. Azerbaijan has a high level of human development which ranks on par with most Eastern European countries. It has a high rate of economic development and literacy, as well as a low rate of unemployment. However, the ruling party, the New Azerbaijan Party, has been accused of authoritarianism and human rights abuses.
Շարունակվում է Ազոխի դպրոցական շենքի շինարարությունը
Շարունակվում է Ազոխի դպրոցական շենքի շինարարությունը: Այն մեկնարկել է 2011թ-ին, և շինարարները նախատեսում են ավարտել տարեմուտին: Դպրոցական նոր շենք կառուցելու գաղափարը գյուղում կյանքի է կոչվել դեռ 80-ական թվականներին, ընդհատվել՝ Արցախյան շարժման տարիներին: Ծրագիրն այժմ իրականացվում է պետական միջոցներով: Ամիսներ անց Ազոխը ժամանակակից կրթօջախ է ունենալու՝ հագեցած արդի պայմաններով:
Продолжается строительство школьного здания села Азох. Оно началось еще 2011 году, а завершение работ строители планируют к концу года. Идея сооружения нового здания для школы зародилась еще в 80-х годах, работы были приостановлены в годы Арцахского движения. В настоящий момент строительство идет на государственные средства. Через несколько месяцев в селе будет новая школа, оснащенная новейшими условиями обучения.
