For some, the derelict buildings of repurposed cattle farms are the only home they have ever known. Others have spent 20 years yearning for the life they were forced to abandon amidst a war with Armenia over the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.<br \/>\nThe region has maintained relative peace by upholding a fragile cease-fire line between Azerbaijan and Armenia, but the absence of a permanent resolution leaves the fate of these people unresolved.<br \/>\n\u201cDaily life for these folks is very hard,\u201d photographer Ed Kashi said.<br \/>\nAs a member of the VII Photo agency, Mr. Kashi was commissioned to spend a week in Azerbaijan, documenting the plight of the internally placed people and refugees. His photo series, entitled \u201cUnresolved Dreams,\u201d documents their uncertain future.<br \/>\nA report published by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center said that despite government assistance, they still experience \u201cinadequate housing, precarious livelihoods, gender-based violence, segregated education, discrimination against children of the displaced and IDPs\u2019 limited participation in decisions that affect them.\u201d<br \/>\nMr. Kashi said his subjects desired to return home once the conflict was resolved, especially the elderly. \u201cThey cried of returning to their towns and villages to be free to die in the land they cherish and miss so much. While the kids only know this current situation and seem to be adapting as best as possible in an abject situation, I did not speak to a single one among them wishing to stay if given the choice. They all see these settlements as a temporary situation before they can finally end their refugee life and rebuild their lives in their own lands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/photojournal\/2014\/08\/15\/unresolved-dreams-photos-of-internally-displaced-persons-in-azerbaijan\/\">http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/photojournal\/2014\/08\/15\/unresolved-dreams-photos-of-internally-displaced-persons-in-azerbaijan\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AzerTAc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wall Street Journal has published a photo reportage headlined \u201cSearching for Home: Ed Kashi\u2019s Photos of IDPs in Azerbaijan\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":14686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[638,61,134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-deportation-of-azerbaijanis-slide-2","category-deportations-of-azerbaijanis","category-opinion-deportations-of-azerbaijanis"],"fimg_url":"https:\/\/1905.az\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wall-street.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1905.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
