In a faraway corner of the world, in a land Armenians call Artsakh and which you may know as Karabakh (“black garden”), a church was bombed last week — and then bombed again. It was Azeri forces that attacked the Holy Savior Cathedral in the city of Shushi, amid a spiraling armed conflict between the two sides.
And not just between those two sides. Scattered among these ancient mountains are the debris of Syrian mercenaries, Israeli drones, Turkish helicopters and Russian bombs, all exploding out into an unpredictable regional war.
