Baku's lightning victory last week over Armenian separatists in the Caucasus enclave has rekindled his hope of returning to that lost idyll. As the Soviet Union crumbled, conflict broke out in 1988 between Armenia and the neighbouring republic of Azerbaijan, which is mostly Turkic-speaking. Terter and its surrounding villages are covered with posters of fists or khari bulbul orchids, symbols of the 2020 reconquest of parts of Karabakh by Azerbaijan. The flower is associated with the city of Shusha, which was retaken then, and which Baku considers as the region's cultural capital.
