(Actual photo background: A 106-year-old Armenian woman sits in front of her home guarding it with a rifle, in Degh village, near the city of Goris in southern Armenia. Armed conflicts took place in and around nearby Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory in Azerbaijan also claimed by Armenia. The Nagorno-Karabakh War displaced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.)
Just a point on the text of the actual photo. Armenia’s claim is that the disputed land is a republic, The Republic of Artsakh. The Republic has its own government, though it relies greatly on Armenia. The majority of the population, including the president are Armenian.
sucks how soviet system delib split the area to create tensions
Thanks, I really appreciate the additional context!
For sure! I appreciate you including the info on the actual photo even though this isn’t a very serious community, lol
You’re welcome! In previous posts, a lot of folks asked about the context so I figured I might as well start including what I can!
