The territory of Nagorno-Karabakh is at the centre of one of the world鈥檚 longest running disputes that goes back more than 100 years.

The latest conflict involved a lightening military operation by Azerbaijan. It resulted in nearly 120,000 Armenians, virtually the entire population, leaving Nagorno-Karabakh and making a difficult journey 鈥� across the border 鈥� to Armenia,

Host Anna Foster hears from three women who took that single route. What might normally be an hour and a half鈥檚 drive through mountains took several days; meaning many people were without food and water.

鈥淧eople were freezing. People were trying to find something to eat,鈥� says humanitarian aid worker Mary Asatryan. 鈥淵ou would see people getting out of their cars and searching for grass or something to have at least something to eat.鈥�

We鈥檒l also hear from three volunteers in Armenia, who are meeting people at the end of that journey and trying to help with basic provisions and psychological support.

On the other side of the dispute are the Azerbaijanis. And they share their views and experiences spanning back over the decades.
