The Last 70.000 Meters:
What Does the Road Tell Us?

On October 3, 2023, Artsakh turned empty. 115.251 people were forcibly displaced from their homeland. The Stepanakert-Kornidzor road got closed.
The blockade, the famine, the inaction of the Russian peacekeepers, and the threat to their lives forced the residents of Artsakh to leave their homeland. In three days, people traveled 70 km, leaving behind their stories.

On September 19, 2023, two days after the military operations initiated by Azerbaijan, the authorities of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) accepted a forced agreement and ceased military resistance.
