Amid pressures from climate change, hydropower dams are further disrupting cross-border water supplies. Part two in a series.

Water disputes helped escalate the conflict into all-out war. Left unaddressed, they pose the same risk again. The first in a three-part series.

Last year Baku took the surprising step of announcing the prosecutions of four soldiers for crimes against Armenians. But there is no word on what happened since – and no reciprocation from Armenia, either.

The Armenian government has come under fire for appearing to discredit as “deserters” the dozens of soldiers still in captivity.

The International Court of Justice declined, however, to order more concrete measures related to Armenian prisoners and maps of land mines in Azerbaijan.

Government critics immediately began speculating about a foreign plot, which authorities have ruled out.

There was much to discuss just over a year after the end of the war, including ongoing border tensions, plans to reopen borders and transportation, and the fate of Armenian prisoners.

The unfinished structure was the result of a brief period of direct Roman control over Armenia in the second century CE.

Serzh Sargsyan’s lawyers said the timing of the charges was suspicious, coming amid a period of bad news on the border with Azerbaijan.

At least 15 Armenian soldiers, and an unknown number of Azerbaijanis, have been killed in the worst fighting since last year's war.

Azerbaijan has stepped up its blockade of key Armenian roads and the two sides have repeatedly exchanged fire amid reported diplomatic progress.
