Frontier Villages in the Crossfire, Part I

The war hasn’t ended for the villages located in the northeastern marz of Tavush in the Republic of Armenia. Twenty years after the ceasefire following the Karabakh War (1991-1994), Azerbaijani sniper fire is an almost daily occurrence. Frontier villages, often isolated from the rest of the country, live in difficult, sometimes unbearable conditions. However, even with elevated tensions on the border and difficult living conditions, villagers continue to live, raise children and till their land.
