If you go to a country which is not recognized you must be ready for
the absence of 'roaming.' Except this fact a country not recognized
is the same as a recognized one, only that it won't be invited to
the Olympic Games. The men are in arms, commerce is a bit difficult
and there are no tourists anywhere. But there are border-lines with
non-recognized immigration officers, offices with unofficial stamps
and governments with non-recognized ministers.
This Caucasian area populated mainly by Armenians seceded from
Azerbaijan when the Soviet Union fell apart, although the states
of the world do not recognize it. Economic crisis characterized the
first years, then an open war broke out between Azerbaijan and the
Armenian population of Mountain-Karabakh. In Azerbaijan they claim
that Armenia - illegally - occupied the area populated by 140 000
people. 35 000 people have died so far in the war about the split up.
The two neighbouring countries are officially engaged in fight as
Armenia still vindicates the territory of Mountain-Karabakh, which
is populated mostly by Armenians.
