Nagorno-Karabakh

Gevorg Akulyan (L), 24, and Arso Poghosyan, 34, look out the window at a horse farm in the mountains where they help care for a herd of Karabakh horses, a breed which was originally developed in the region but now faces extinction, on April 22, 2015 near Vank, Nagorno-Karabakh. Since signing a ceasefire in a war with Azerbaijan in 1994, Nagorno-Karabakh, officially part of Azerbaijan, has functioned as a self-declared independent republic and de facto part of Armenia, with hostilities along the line of contact between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan occasionally flaring up and causing casualties.
