Under its terms, Azerbaijan will hold on to several areas that it has taken during the conflict. Armenia also agreed to withdraw from several other adjacent areas. (Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)

  • A general view of the newly rebuilt Spitak after the old one is left in Rubble of the Earthquake which struck 33 years ago. On Sunday, Jan 16, 2021, I visited the city which lies close to the epicentre of 1988 devastating Armenia quake, some 100 km (62 miles) north of the capital Yerevan. Spitak was entirely destroyed during the devastating earthquake, which is now rebuilt in a slightly different location. The earthquake that devastated Armenia in December 1988 killed 25,000 people and leaving half a million homeless.

On Sunday, Jan 16, 2021, I visited the city which lies close to the epicentre of 1988 devastating Armenia quake, some 100 km (62 miles) north of the capital Yerevan. Spitak was entirely destroyed during the devastating earthquake, which is now rebuilt in a slightly different location. The earthquake that devastated Armenia in December 1988 killed 25,000 people and leaving half a million homeless. Like the tsunami that devastated southern Asia 16 years later, it focused the world's sympathy for unspeakable suffering and unleashed an outpouring of aid. (Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)

The enclave is internationally recognised as Azerbaijani but has been run by ethnic Armenians since 1994. The peace deal sparked jubilant scenes in Azerbaijan and fury in Armenia. Under its terms, Azerbaijan will hold on to several areas that it has taken during the conflict. Armenia also agreed to withdraw from several other adjacent areas. (Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
