Vank, Nagorno Karabakh

Victory is a source of pride for the Armenians due to their military weakness relative to Azeri forces during their war of independence. Nationalism and the humiliation of the enemy are sources of motivation for the population, who has suffered through many years of hardship. This wall in the village of Vank is covered by license plates taken from vehicles left behind by Azerbaijanis who fled the territory. La ultra-nationalistic ideology present in both sides is a major obstacle for finding a lasting peaceful solution to the conflict. © Daniel Barreto Mezzano
