Nagorno-Karabakh, the time bomb on Europe's doorstep
The enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh is a powder keg at the heart of a
25-year-old dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Its people are
mostly Armenian, but under the Soviet Union it was ruled by
Azerbaijan. In 1991 it declared independence in the midst of a
six-year war that cost 30,000 lives. A fragile truce still holds, but
Armenia occupies large swathes of Azeri land, and oil-rich Azerbaijan
is building a powerful new army. REPORTERS
