AFP special envoys tell the human story of the Nagorno-Karabakh war
When heavy fighting pitted Azerbaijani soldiers against Armenian-backed separatists from Nagorno-Karabakh on September 27, AFP was the only agency to send multimedia teams of special envoys – photographers, videojournalists and text reporters – from Moscow, Paris, Istanbul and Beirut to both sides of the front line. They reported from the cellars of the Karabakh capital Stepanakert, the ruined streets of Azerbaijan’s second city Gandja, and from the roads where civilians were fleeing the bombardments.
