In pictures: Artsakh without gas supply

Panorama
Armenia –

Armenian media outlet Hetq has released a photo series of David Ghahramanyan from Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), which has again been deprived of gas supply.

Without gas supply: 11-month-old Arpi is taking a bath near the stove.

The grandpa and grandma are warming up and pondering on the current events.

Supermarkets in Stepanakert are emptying their bread shelves.

Gas cylinders are donated to evacuees from various districts of Artsakh and families with many children.

Children have staged a performance at the Stepanakert State Drama Theater after Vahram Papazyan. The disruption of gas delivery and adverse weather conditions do not prevent Stepanakert children from receiving spiritual nourishment. 

Tatev, a mother of many children, and her 5 children were forcibly displaced from Hadrut. They have been living in the former Malysh restaurant in Stepanakert for a year now. The only source of heating in the house is a small electric heater…

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
