The female de-miners of Nagorno-Karabakh

Aftermath of a largely forgotten war (Aljazeera) The Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994) took place between the former Soviet republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan, over the landlocked mountainous region. Today, landmines and unexploded ordnance continue to contaminate the land, putting lives at risk and crippling the region's economy. Dedicated to clearing landmines across the world, The HALO Trust has been operating in Nagorno- Karabakh since 2000.

Great photos.

The Nagorno-Karabakh War also led to the the city of Agdam becoming a giant ghost town.
