A film telling the story of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through the eyes of an eight-year old boy is to premiere in Washington and Baku.
The action in Refugee: Life Story of Anar Usubov begins during the collapse of the Soviet Union and chronicles the tragedies of the war and its aftermath.
Anar is a child from the town of Khojaly, where during the night of 25-26 February 1992, 613 Azerbaijani civilians were massacred in an attack by Armenian forces, backed by an ex-Soviet regiment.
