Stepanakert Airport

One of Stepanakert Airport’s 120 employees walks through the terminal’s empty hallways. Formerly a military base, the airport was rebuilt at a cost of USD 5 million, but has not received any regular flights since its renovation in 2011. The Azeri government has warned that any flight approaching the airport will be shot down for violation of Azeri airspace. Currently, the only way of travelling to Nagorno Karabakh is by road through Armenia. The trip between Yerevan, Armenia’s capital and Stepanakert takes at least six hours. © Daniel Barreto Mezzano
