This are banknotes from muslim-christian disputed area in the South of the former USSR, between Christian Armenia and Muslim Azerbaijan.  The religeous scenery is depicted on banknotes. Nagorno-Karabakh is a region in the South Caucasus. It encompasses the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, an unrecognised, but de facto independent republic, which under international law is officially part of the Republic of Azerbaijan. It is about 170 miles west of the Azerbaijani capital of Baku and close to the border with Armenia. On December 10, 1991 in a referendum boycotted by local Azerbaijanis, Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh approved the creation of an independent state. A Soviet proposal for enhanced autonomy for Nagorno-Karabakh within Azerbaijan satisfied neither side, and a full-scale war subsequently erupted between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh, the latter receiving support from Armenia. By the end of 1993, the conflict had caused thousands of casualties and created hundreds of thousands of refugees on both sides. Since the ceasefire in 1994, most of Nagorno-Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan around it (comprising about 14% of Azerbaijan's territory) remain under the joint Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh military control. Representatives of the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have since been holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group. .
