Yerashkh


We are in Yeraskh village of Ararat region. The residents of the village tell about the traditions, daily life, security problems and future of Yeraskh.

Khnatsakh


After the 44-day war, Khnatsakh lost more than 32 hectares of arable land and most of the pastures. Now it is surrounded on three sides, and the only road connecting to the village is under direct enemy fire. The Azerbaijanis advanced their positions, reaching the shores of the village, deploying at a distance of 100-200m from the houses. The residents were actively engaged in cattle breeding, but after the war they had to sell it due to the loss of pastures.

Khoznavar


In 2021, Azerbaijan violated the territorial integrity of Armenia by attacking and invading Khoznavar village. Now the village is under enemy fire from the high hills on three sides. The only road to Khoznavar is observed by Azerbaijani units
