Shushi Town Recovering

SHUSHI, NAGORNO-KARABAKH - on Monday, May 16, 2016: A view of a typical apartment building, in Shushi, an Armenian city in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in the South Caucasus, under the control of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic since its liberation in 1992 during the Nagorno-Karabakh War. As of 2002, ten years later after the city's was liberated by the Armenian forces, some 80% of the town was in ruins. The town was repopulated by Armenians, mostly refugees from Azerbaijan and other parts of Karabakh, as well as members of the Armenian diaspora. A slow recovery can be seen as reconstruction work continue. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
