Sad remains of a recent war, dreadful monuments of an ethnic conflict between Armenian and Azerbaijani people, hallmarked by the name: Nagorno-Karabakh. In this first post I share my related findings from Azerbaijan: Ghost Towns.kmz (4.53 KB) Keep Photo Layer On! (No more... at least Panoramio does not exist anymore) Related from oGEC:8 Abandoned "Ghost " Towns by our unforgetable Danescombe These are from all around the World. Agdam, Azerbaijan is included and switching GE GEC layer on, the quoted text below can be read as an interesting addition to the ruin site:

Assodé - ruins of quite a big, abandoned settlement doomed by Kaocen Revolt - Tuareg rebellion (1916-1917). I have tried to locate other ruined settlements of Tuareg rebellions with not much success so far. Tuareg War.kmz (926 B)

Bayzhigit - abandoned for unknown reason, from unknown date. Bayzhigit abandoned.kmz (707 B) and many more sad examples from the endless steppe of Kazakhstan. e.g.: Malye Kamkaly - almost every building stands roofless: 44°44'18.46"N, 71°30'55.23"E Whaz happening?

No content for the site in GE layers, but some can be found on GMaps. Abandoned settlement with active yurts and the site of "Olgii (Buddhist) Monastery". (I think it is that intact building just below my placemark.)  Also I have added two links to placemark description: A GSearch results page for the cyrillic GMaps placemark and one of the results - mongoliantemples.org (mongolian / cyrillic) Ghost town Olgii Mongolia.kmz (970 B)
