When should a journalist travel to a conflict zone? Is it worth taking advantage of the initial outburst or is it better to wait until the final fireworks? The ideal would be to cover the entire war, to be there before and after, yet it is often very difficult to establish clear cuts in time when it comes to armed conflict. One of them was drawn on September 27 in Nagorno Karabakh, a conflict that dates back to the middle of the Gorbachev era in 1988. It's the longest-running unresolved dispute in the former Soviet Union.
