Nagorno-Karabakh: A forgoten country

Nagorno-Karabakh is a small Armenian enclave within Azerbaijan. The people are mainly Christian and were the subject of attempted "Ethnic cleansing" by Azerbaijan. In fact, the term "Ethnic cleansing" was first used about them. The Armenians, are, of course, one of the first Christian "people-groups."

The international community seems to have largely forgotten them.

They are now trying to hold elections - see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6905670.stm for a report.
