Ten months after the defeat of Armenian forces against Azerbaijan in the war for control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, Armenia is seeing its border regions come under threat from Baku.

Citing the official Yerevan, France 24 says hundreds of Azerbaijani soldiers have entered Armenian territory since mid-May 2021, particularly in the Syunik and Gegharkunik border provinces.

The situation is sparking concern and even panic in Armenia, particularly in villages close to the frontier, where incidents are frequent, the France 24 team on the ground reports.

“When I realized I could not go into my vegetable garden anymore, I went mad. Just how far are they going to go? I will never get used to it. What do they want from us Armenians? Who is this Aliyev [Azerbaijani President] to mock my nation like this?” Anahit Alekyan, an Armenian woman from the village of Shurnukh, tells France 24 in an interview.

The woman says she needs neither help nor money.

“I want my land and my house back,” she says, tearfully.

Shurnukh Mayor Hakob Arshakyan, whose house has also fallen under Azerbaijan’s control, says he feels a lot of pain.
