Armenia & Karabagh : The aftermath
Paul Mellor is a British photographer who travelled to Karabagh to take some startling images.
An exhibition of these images were shown recently in the UK, and are now part of an exhibition in Massachusetts. The Milford Daily News reports on this exhibition.
He hopes his photos raise awareness and support for relief efforts to help the people of Nagorno-Karabagh. He and his wife are planning to return this October. They now work with BirthLink, a charity based in England that provides medical training and equipment to the region.
“This is an ongoing story. It doesn’t stop with this exhibit,” Mellor said. “We will continue. We’re passionate we can make a difference.”
Paul Mellor originally travelled to Karabagh with his wife to take pictures of a hospital construction program for the relief organization, Family Care.
I find no other words for the photos. It’s easy to see what kind of hard times did Armenians in Karabagh have.
In addition to this post, I would like to share this link of Michael Hintlian’s photo gallery. Thanks.

Thanks for the link.
The photograph of the woman in the graveyard is heart-rending. The Karabagh war was before I become involved with Armenia, and my memories of it are ‘just another foreign conflict’, but the war lives on in the images and minds of the people.
