Just a week after Yeghisha died, his wife Ofelia passed away too. The people of Artsakh can’t live away from the home and land they were forced to leave. Their hearts are still there.
Yeghisha, my fellow villager and a refugee from Nagorno-Karabakh, died far from the home we lost. In @Frangyan’s photograph, he holds a mulberry tree 🌳 that was uprooted by shelling—clinging to a piece of our past.

Aliyev rules out any US involvement: "The question should be directed to the Armenian leadership. No operator, no trader, no lessee can operate on our territory."
