2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi er en av byene som ble hardest rammet under krigen. Det bor fortsatt folk her, men mange bygg er fortsatt ruiner. Under og etter krigen forlot de aller fleste azeriene området og konsekvensene er blant annet forlatte moskéer som denne. Sjåføren vår gjorde et poeng av at de ikke hadde revet eller ødelagt moskéen. Det var ingen synlige tegn på hærverk, men moskéen var likevel i dårlig stand — ikke så rart etter flere år uten daglig vedlikehold i et område med harde vintre.

2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi was was of the cities that suffered the most damage during the war. There are still people living here, but many building have still in ruins. During and after the war most Azeris left the area. As a consequence you have abandoned mosques such as this one. Our driver made a point of the fact that it had not been knocked down or destroyed. There were no visible signs of vandalism, but it was in bad condition — which given years without maintenance and hars winters is not so strange. Photograph by Christian Fredrik Borchsenius.
