The blast occurred as hundreds of people waited for scarce gasoline to fuel their vehicles for the journey toward Armenia during the mass exodus that followed Azerbaijan’s military offensive against Nagorno-Karabakh days earlier. The explosion took place at a gasoline warehouse located approximately six kilometers outside Stepanakert, amid the rapid collapse of Armenian governance in the region and the displacement of more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians within the span of a week. The exodus followed months of blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the only road and lifeline connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, which had severely restricted access to food, fuel, medicine, and humanitarian aid. Local authorities reported at least 218 deaths and more than 120 injuries, with many victims suffering severe or life-threatening burns. Survivors were evacuated to medical facilities across Armenia, including Goris, as the humanitarian crisis intensified alongside one of the largest forced displacements in the region since the 2020 war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/37d86752-2192-47fa-a73c-16845a5aa255/WPP+Long_9.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out A recently displaced resident of Nagorno-Karabakh burns personal belongings and trash near a battered and abandoned Soviet BTR personnel carrier on the border with Azerbaijan outside Kornidzor in Syunik Province, Armenia on 26 September 2023 during the mass exodus of ethnic Armenians following Azerbaijan’s military offensive in September 2023 that forced over 100,000 people to leave their homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/c136d9a8-df07-4c11-8335-1e434995d1f0/WPP+Long_10.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out On 28 January 2024, a family gathers at the grave of their father at Yerablur Military Memorial Cemetery in Yerevan, Armenia, one of many victims of the 2023 conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The incident occurred as Armenia and Azerbaijan continued negotiations over border delimitation and demarcation in the Tavush–Gazakh border area, where Azerbaijan has called for the return of four villages under Armenian control since the 1990s. Damage from the gunfire was reported in the cemetery and in nearby civilian homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/94afbddc-5dd7-4af0-bdc2-20f6d18834ed/WPP+Long_15.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out One of several Azerbaijani bullets collected from a home that was targeted in April 2023 in Kut village, Armenia in Gegharkunik Province on 16 September 2023 days before a major Azerbaijani military offensive on Nagorno-Karabakh that triggered the displacement of more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians to Armenia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/3e912199-2c89-4aa5-80b8-957f91f34250/WPP+Long_16.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Irina Mirzoyan stands in front of a photograph of her sons inside her home in Yerevan, Armenia, on 26 March 2025.

He was killed while defending Armenian positions near the village of Magavuz. During the escalation, Irina believed she had lost all three of her sons, as well as her husband, who were all deployed to the frontline. Communication lines were cut, phone calls went unanswered, and families across Armenia waited days for confirmation about the fate of their relatives. Arman’s death became one of the earliest symbols of the offensive, which lasted just over 24 hours and ultimately led to the collapse of Armenian control in Nagorno-Karabakh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/01b292dc-9e06-4bf8-9147-53a7687ff410/WPP+Long_17.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Military trenches cut through the earth just outside Yeraskh on 20 May 2025, a frontline village in Armenia’s Ararat Province, near the border with Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan exclave.

Zhamkochyan was among a large number of Armenian soldiers who were very young men, many just 18 or 19 years old when they were deployed during the 44-day conflict between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces in late 2020. The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in significant casualties on both sides and left many servicemen and civilians wounded. For Armenian veterans like Zhamkochyan, rehabilitation has been a long process involving physical therapy, psychological support and reintegration efforts. The presence of so many young soldiers in intensive frontline roles, some of whom sustained life-altering injuries, has shaped public debate in Armenia about military service, support for wounded veterans and long-term care. In October–December 2025, the National Assembly passed amendments that changed the length of compulsory military service nationwide. The standard mandatory service term was reduced from 24 months to 18 months, taking into effect 1 January 2026, and applies to new conscripts from the 2025 winter draft onward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/7d055a07-d4e3-43e4-ae20-4eb5e69c01cc/WPP+Long_19.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out A memorial dedicated to Armenian soldiers who died fighting in the Second World War in the Soviet Union (1941–1945) stands outside Buzhakan village on 25 October 2025, reflecting the enduring tradition of honoring military sacrifice in Armenia amid ongoing regional tensions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/ce2a4d25-a45e-4912-829b-a8ab0a7a784d/WPP+Long_20.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Thousands of Armenians march to the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial in Yerevan, Armenia carrying the flag of Nagorno‑Karabakh (Artsakh) during the annual torchlight procession on the eve of 110th Genocide Remembrance Day, held amid ongoing tensions along the Armenia–Azerbaijan border on 23 April 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/52b2dc4b-dd9f-4355-acfa-0992253f88f5/WPP+Long_21_2.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, Primate of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, addresses protesters during a rally in Republic Square in the center of Yerevan, Armenia on 9 May 2024 as part of a movement initially known as “Tavush for the Homeland.” The protests began in May as a march from the Tavush border region to the capital, driven by public opposition to the Armenian government’s border delimitation and demarcation process with Azerbaijan, including the planned transfer of four villages near Tavush that had remained under Armenian control since the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. By mid-May, the movement had grown into large demonstrations in Yerevan, with thousands gathering near the Opera and Ballet Theatre and later Republic Square. Protesters demanded not only a halt to the border process but also the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, reflecting broader concerns over security, governance, and territorial concessions. Galstanyan emerged as the public face of the movement, framing it as a struggle for national survival. The participation of a senior cleric in political protest generated controversy in Armenia, where the constitution establishes a separation between church and state. While critics questioned the church’s role in secular politics, supporters viewed Galstanyan as a patriotic figure articulating public discontent. The “Tavush for the Homeland” protests marked a turning point in Armenia’s post-2020 political landscape, transforming localized opposition to border changes into a nationwide anti-government movement. What began as resistance to planned territorial handovers near the Armenia–Azerbaijan border in Tavush evolved into broader civil disobedience actions in Yerevan, including marches, rallies, and road blockages. In 2025, Armenian authorities escalated their response to the movement and in late June Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan was detained and formally charged with preparing terrorism, organizing mass unrest, and attempting to seize state power in connection with his role in what officials later referred to as the “Sacred Struggle” movement. The charges were denied by Galstanyan and his legal team, who described them as politically motivated. A Yerevan court ordered his pre-trial detention, which has since been extended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/84cc799a-3793-4b44-a7e7-de59f1ea0d93/WPP+Long_22.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out On 16 May 2025, Armenian and Azerbaijani flags stood just metres apart on the edge of Khnatsakh village in Syunik Province, Armenia, less than 3 months before the peace deal was reached between the two countries in Washington D.C.

Locals report nightly gunfire in the area and it was one of the most contested areas in the province of Syunik. According to residents and Armenian officials, the proximity of forces and repeated reports of gunfire suggested that Azerbaijani troops were either failing to control their units or were deliberately using intimidation tactics against civilians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/3d132b8a-a0e1-4e61-b2e4-d92b4e3823eb/WPP+Long_23.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Residents of Kut village in Armenia's Geghakunik region carry out agricultural work in fields near the Armenia–Azerbaijan border on 16 September 2023 with Azerbaijani military positions in the distance, a village that had been prone to regular border shootings following the 2020 war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/96d236c5-99e6-4a4d-9594-1037f633df11/WPP+Long_24.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Liparit Martirosyan, 65, tends to his beehives next to his home in the border village of Khnatsakh, Syunik Province, Armenia, on 16 May 2025. Beekeeping provides honey for household use and limited income and has long been part of the region’s rural economy, where wild mountain flora produces prized local honey. Khnatsakh lies close to Azerbaijani military positions, and residents report regular nighttime gunfire across the border during this period, months before a peace agreement was reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Washington in August 2025. The security situation has made daily activities increasingly risky, including farming and tending livestock. Martirosyan, a former physics teacher at the village secondary school, says life during the Soviet era felt stable by comparison. Today, he gathers wild herbs from nearby fields to preserve for winter, despite the presence of minefields left from past fighting. He says one of his horses was killed after triggering a landmine. The village also faces shortages of drinking water, forcing residents to collect water from a nearby spring and carry it home in plastic containers. Despite the insecurity and hardship, Martirosyan says he intends to remain in Khnatsakh, like many residents determined to stay on their land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/9ea95bd3-e963-4396-ae61-07e5699adc7e/WPP+Long_25.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out A military position overlooks Khoznavar, a small agriculture village in Armenia’s Syunik Province, on 17 May 2025. Surrounded on three sides by Azerbaijani military posts, the village has become increasingly vulnerable to cross-border fire. On 20 April 2025, Azerbaijani forces opened fire on Khoznavar, damaging a solar water heater on a residential building. While no casualties were reported, residents hear shots almost every night. Home to around 350 people, Khoznavar is connected to the rest of Armenia by a single road, known locally as “the path to life.” Armenian authorities are upgrading the route to ensure faster movement for both military and civilian vehicles. The precarious geography, frequent cross-border incidents, and isolation of this frontier community highlight the fragile security and daily risks faced by its inhabitants prior to the August peace agreement reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Washington D.C. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/7831ed28-e75a-4fde-86e7-53d1538aa99d/WPP+Long_26.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out David Babayan, a father of seven, worked during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war retrieving the bodies of fallen soldiers from battlefields in his UAZ‑452 van. He recalls the horrors of corpses lying in the fields for weeks, often torn apart by artillery fire, and the trauma of handling remains for identification. The conflict, which lasted 44 days, left deep scars across Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding Armenian border regions, displacing thousands and leaving villages exposed to sudden violence. Today, David works long hours as a construction laborer on a new school at the edge of Khnatsakh village, Syunik Province, on 17 May 2025. He raises four of his children, while the youngest attends kindergarten, and older children have married. His labor reflects a determination to rebuild and restore normalcy in a community that remains on edge. Despite a formal ceasefire and ongoing peace negotiations, uncertainty looms where both Armenia and Azerbaijan continue to fortify their border positions, and residents live under the constant threat of cross-border fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/4170fc6c-7bf0-4a7a-985e-6a7df87862ce/WPP+Long_27.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Children play in a humble roadside park in Kornidzor, Armenia, a village near the heavily militarized and strategically significant Lachin Corridor on 17 May 2025. The Corridor once served as the main link between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. In September 2023, a rapid military offensive by Azerbaijan forced a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians from Nagorno‑Karabakh. Over 100,000 people crossed into Armenia in a matter of days, many arriving through Kornidzor and its adjacent mountain routes. Today, while the laughter of children fills the playground, that very proximity to a route once marked by fear, displacement and uncertainty underscores the fragile calm that defines daily life in this quiet borderland community. The park is full of heavy memories of loss, uprooted lives, and the displacement of entire communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/6762edd4-01bd-4e41-8bb3-c97ad31c1ab5/WPP+Long_28.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Mrs. Anna (right) and Gohar (left), originally from the Nagorno-Karabakh villages of Khndziristan and Drmbo, work in a small bakery in Kapan, Armenia, preparing zhingyalov hats and pakhlava, traditional Armenian pastries, on 19 May 2025. Forced to flee their homes after Azerbaijan’s 2023 military offensive, which emptied the region of its Armenian population, they resettled in southern Armenia near the border. Through their bakery, which employs local residents, they preserve cultural traditions while rebuilding their lives and livelihoods. Nearly 100,000 ethnic Armenians were displaced in one of Armenia’s largest displacements in decades. Many are registered with the government, children attend schools, and thousands have received Armenian citizenship, yet challenges remain. Housing is limited, with many in temporary or state-provided accommodations, and employment opportunities are scarce outside Yerevan. Legal recognition delays affect access to social services, while trauma, interrupted education, and language barriers complicate integration. Most families have settled in Yerevan or surrounding provinces such as Kotayk, Ararat, and Armavir to stay away from the border, while others have emigrated abroad. The displacement represents a humanitarian crisis and profound social transformation, as families rebuild lives far from ancestral homes, navigating uncertainty and identity in the wake of conflict. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/9a1d1d8e-873e-4888-998f-d5609484c96f/WPP+Long_29_2.jpg Surviving in the Shadow of Peace - Make it stand out Armenian civilians take part in military defense training in Dilijan, Armenia Tavush Region on 30 July 2023 as part of broader efforts to increase public preparedness amid continuing tensions along the Armenia–Azerbaijan border.

The Yerablur Military Pantheon in Yerevan is a burial ground for Armenian servicemen who died in conflicts related to Nagorno-Karabakh, including the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020, and subsequent border and enclave clashes. Visits to Yerablur around anniversary dates are common in Armenian society as a way of honoring the dead and reaffirming collective memory. In September 2022, renewed hostilities between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces broke out near strategic locations along the border and within contested areas, resulting in casualties and prompting temporary escalations. https://anthonypizzoferrato.com/the-silent-railway daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/abbd087c-2e9c-46e1-aee6-db98bfd2e8b5/Photo+1_G3A5159.jpg The Silent Railway - Make it stand out From the vantage point of Armenia’s southern border, the Arax River flows quietly, its opposite bank belonging to Iran visible in the distance on 18 May 2025. This border crossing remains a critical artery for Armenia, enabling essential trade and energy flows. At the same time, rising tensions over the proposed Zangezur Corridor have added strategic weight to this stretch of land and water. Iran has voiced strong opposition to the corridor, fearing that it would cut off its direct land link to Armenia and undermine its role as a regional transit hub. The corridor intended to connect Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (an exclave of Azerbaijan) with the rest of Azerbaijan through Armenian territory has become a flashpoint in regional geopolitics, with both Armenia and Iran regarding it as a challenge to their sovereignty and strategic interests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/88fb8537-0bf6-4a81-bdc2-dc923f1136d5/Photo+2_G3A5249.jpg The Silent Railway - Make it stand out Rusting railway cars sit abandoned near Agarak, on Armenia’s southern border with Iran, on May 18, 2025. The cars, marked with faint Russian stenciling reading “Baku,” were once part of the Meghri railway line connecting southern Armenia to Azerbaijan and Iran. The abandoned tracks now contrast with efforts to reopen regional transport through the U.S.-brokered Trump Peace Corridor (TRIPP), a project designed to link mainland Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave. TRIPP includes road, rail, oil, gas, and fiber-optic infrastructure, operating under Armenian law to respect the country’s sovereignty, and aims to foster economic cooperation as part of broader attempts to resolve tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/5357dd46-bd0f-4591-935e-254a52ce721c/Photo+3_G3A5260.jpg The Silent Railway - Make it stand out Abandoned freight cars from the former Meghri railway line stand idle outside Agarak, near the Armenian-Iranian border. The stenciled word “Baku” is still faintly visible on one car, a silent reminder of a time when trains travelled freely across what are now politically fraught borders between southern Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran. The photograph was taken on May 18, 2025, capturing the decay of once-active infrastructure and evoking the region’s shifting geopolitical landscapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/7f10eb42-caf6-43b4-97c1-0f26174c29d9/Photo+4_G3A5110.jpg The Silent Railway - Make it stand out A Soviet-era statue depicting a female figure stands outside the former Meghri railway station in the village of Araksashen, southern Armenia, on May 18, 2025. The station was once a key stop on the Yerevan–Baku railway, a route that linked Armenia and Azerbaijan and formed part of a broader transport corridor connecting Moscow to Tehran. Rail operations ceased in April 1992 as regional conflict and political upheaval severed cross-border transport, and the Meghri section of the line was later dismantled entirely between 2010 and 2011. Little is documented about the statue’s origin, though its dynamic pose reflects the monumental public art of the Soviet period, often associated with themes of labor, resilience, and collective identity. Today, the statue overlooks the abandoned station grounds, a reminder of a former era of regional connectivity now overshadowed by unresolved tensions and ongoing debate surrounding the proposed Zangezur Corridor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/b2014f95-4e56-406d-86c6-d0240fb23891/Photo+5_G3A5118.jpg The Silent Railway - Make it stand out The former Meghri railway station in the village of Araksashen, Armenia, on May 18, 2025.

The town functions as a vital gateway for trade and energy between Armenia and Iran. Its strategic importance is highlighted amid the U.S.-brokered Trump Peace Corridor (TRIPP), a transport initiative aimed at connecting mainland Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave via road, rail, oil, gas, and fiber-optic lines under Armenian jurisdiction. TRIPP is designed to foster regional cooperation and reduce tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, contrasting with Azerbaijan’s prior push for a “Zangezur Corridor,” which Armenia perceives as a challenge to its sovereignty and established transport routes. Agarak’s role underscores Armenia’s efforts to maintain economic resilience and geopolitical balance in the South Caucasus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/cd155c27-cb05-4891-ab08-4dc2a859bc48/Photo+8_G3A5300.jpg The Silent Railway - Make it stand out The border town of Agarak in southern Armenia, photographed on May 18, 2025.

Once part of a route connecting southern Armenia with Azerbaijan and Iran, the railway was decommissioned decades ago, leaving behind skeletal infrastructure. In the distance a road stretches toward the area proposed for the Zangezur Corridor, a potential new transit link that has stirred debate over its implications for regional transport and geopolitics. The juxtaposition of derelict railcars and a road heading toward a contested future captures the layered history of the region from Soviet‑era connectivity, through years of closure and isolation, to renewed tensions and hopes around shifting transportation routes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/da02c318-53a9-45bc-9652-997604951cb6/Photo+10_G3A5388.jpg The Silent Railway - Make it stand out A winding road stretches from the Iranian border toward Meghri, Armenia, on May 18, 2025. Once a key artery for trade and energy, the route remains vital as the abandoned Meghri railway recalls decades of conflict and lost connectivity.

Military forces from both sides hold positions so close that soldiers can hear one another speak, where the Armenian side often plays music to drone out the voices from the other side. Locals report nightly gunfire in the area and it was one of the most contested areas in the province of Syunik. According to residents and Armenian officials, the proximity of forces and repeated reports of gunfire suggested that Azerbaijani troops were either failing to control their units or were deliberately using intimidation tactics against civilians. The photograph documents this tense, precarious state at the borderlands, illustrating how front‑line militarisation affects nearby communities and the state of their daily lives, underlining the human cost of an armed stand‑off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/78aca3a0-bef3-4a20-9759-3e23a99ecc6d/Photo+2_G3A5565.jpg Echos of Conflict - Make it stand out Displaced women from Nagorno-Karabakh prepare zhingyalov hats, a traditional herb-stuffed flatbread, in a small bakery Kapan, Syunik Province, Armenia on May 19, 2025.

The mural is inscribed with the words: “I exist, I am your strength from heaven.” Villagers remember Gor as a symbol of sacrifice, resilience, and the human cost of a war that left deep scars across the nation. This mural is part of a broader wave of remembrance that swept across Armenia after the 2020 war and other recent conflicts. Across cities and villages — from large urban centers to remote towns portraits of fallen soldiers have begun to appear on walls, schools, homes and public buildings. These murals serve more than decorative or symbolic purposes: they are communal markers of grief, memory, and national mourning of collective sorrow and solidarity. Many such portraits are painted by relatives, friends or community members, transforming ordinary walls into sites of public memory. Gor’s mural stands at the intersection of memory and mourning, not simply a wall painting but a testament to lives lost, a reflection of grief, and a call for remembrance in a society still coping with the ripple effects of war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5399ba56e4b06f91354d0c60/e00fca06-49de-4ae9-8dcd-225162a13125/Photo+9_G3A4449.jpg Echos of Conflict - Make it stand out The hills around Khnatsakh village in Syunik Province, Armenia, on May 16, 2025, reveal the village’s precarious position, hemmed in by Azerbaijani military posts on several sides.

In September 2023, a swift military offensive by Azerbaijan against Nagorno‑Karabakh triggered a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians, with more than 100,000 people forced to flee their homes and ancestral lands. The grief of this family reflects not just personal loss, but the human cost borne by thousands who saw their communities uprooted, families severed, and identities displaced in just a few days. The cemetery has been a burial place of Armenian soldiers beginning in 1988 when the first Nagorno-Karabakh conflict broke out, which is now filled with over 3 decades of soldiers, many as young as 18 years old. This image captures the other side of war and the collective wounds of a nation, underlining how the aftermath of conflict reshapes lives, memories and futures for entire populations long after the fighting ends.
