When they have guests, Uncle Vardan asks Siranush to dance. She
dances well, and one thinks she must have gone to dance school for
several years, but she learned everything from TV. Besides, there is
no dance school in their village, Haterk. Perhaps this is the reason
why 10-year-old Siranush does not want to live in the village. "Two
years ago we lived in the town of Martuni, but we had to come to live
in the village," her mother says.

Siranush has two sisters and a four-month-old brother. She says it
is not interesting in the village, she likes the city (she means
Stepanakert). When I asked what exactly she likes about the city,
she said everything. And her 5-year-old daughter mentioned gas which
suddenly came to her mind; there is no gas in their village. The
sisters said together they hate the dirt roads.

The little sister also likes the city. "I have many friends but it
is more interesting there," she says.
