Artsakh residents who have gone through hell are left to their fate in Armenia

Civil initiatives continue to support forcibly displaced Artsakh Armenians, with many individuals and organizations trying to help and somehow alleviate sorrow of these people.

The Alpha News team has spent several hours in one of the support centers and listened to concerns of the Artsakh people.

The Alpha News team talks with Sonya Abalyan, one of the most in-demand veterinarians in Artsakh. Born in Hadrut, she has lived in Martuni for 17 years. Sonya could not hold back tears, remembering the path of forced exodus that lasted more than 40 hours.

“It was a break time. As soon as we got home, shooting started in the direction of our village. We immediately hid in the shelter. Running away, I fell and broke my leg,” the woman says with tears in her eyes.

Sonya has no children. Together with her husband, they temporarily stay in Yerevan. She says kind people have offered them a shelter. But while they have nowhere to go, the family is looking for an apartment at an affordable price, but so far they have not found anything.

“In Martuni we had everything. We lost it all in one day. But the worst thing is that the graves of young people are left there,” Sonya says.

A 30-year-old Nzhdeh was on duty at a combat position when Azerbaijan started aggression on September 19. He asks everyone not to forget the heroes resting in Yerablur.

“We fought to the end. For so many years we had Artsakh only thanks to the Armenian army,” he says.
