Agdam, Nagorno Karabakh

Agdam was an Azerbaijani city of about 100.000 known for its wine and cheese production. In 1993 Armenian troops forced its citizens to flee and destroyed the entire city fearing that it would be used as a base to take back Nagorny Karabak. The remains of the city were looted for building materials over the following years. Today, Agdam is a ghost town and a buffer zone between Nagorny Karabak and Azerbaijan.© Daniel Barreto Mezzano
