Stepanakert, Azerbaijan, Oct 15 (AFP/APP): Throughout Stepanakert, the capital of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region in Azerbaijan, residents and activists are worried about the residual threat of unexploded cluster munitions near homes and along streets.

So far 123 countries have joined an international convention adopted in Dublin in 2008 that bans the use of cluster weapons. But Armenia and Azerbaijan aren’t among its signatories.
