18 Feb 05

Burnashet village of Akhalkalak is one of the Armenian villages that
doesnâ~@~Yt differ from the neighboring villages at all. As usual, the
school is the only working place for the residents of the school. The
school of the village was a two-storied building with a rather large
yard and an orchard.

On February 15-16 night a fuss began among the residents of the
village, as the only school was burning. None could reveal the
“author” of the tragedy. The residents of the village had no hopes
that firefighting department of the town that is situated in 20kms
would rush and put out the fire.

They could save only a couple of desks and chairs from the school
furniture. The Sayat Nova School that was the only place where the
Armenian children could get Armenian education perished in the fire.

The 10 and 11 form students from the neighboring Ghadolar village also
studied here. Nobody knows when the school will be renovated. Nobody
hopes that foreign authorities will care about the fate of the
Armenian children.
