Nagorno-Karabakh

Members of the Abrahamyan family sacrifice a chicken, the blood of which is used to paint a cross on the forehead, to bring good fortune on April 19, 2015 in Karashen, 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.
