Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, is a landlocked region in the South Caucasus. Shushi is a city and has been under the control of the self-proclaimed Artsakh Republic (better known as Nagorno-Karabakh) since its capture in 1992 during the Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994). Public bus on the road. War Memorial with a T-72. The tank was advancing on Azerbaijani positions when it was hit and its Armenian crew was killed in the resulting explosion. The tank was restored after the war. The T-72 is a family of Soviet main battle tanks that first entered production in 1971. About 20,000 T-72 tanks were built, The T-72A version introduced in 1979 is considered a second-generation main battle tank. It was widely exported and saw service in 40 countries and in numerous conflicts. Nagorno-Karabakh is a disputed territory, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but most of the region is governed by the Republic of Artsakh (formerly named Nagorno-Karabakh Republic), a de facto independent state with Armenian ethnic population. Since 1994, regular peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group have failed to result in a peace treaty. 4.10.2019 © 2019 Didier Ruef
