To find the entrance of the former school of Talish village nearby Artsakh border is a bit difficult. The abundant nature smothers one’s way still from the gates onwards. This scene is present already for 1 year and 2 months, since the moment when Azerbaijani military force initiated April military operations bombarding Talish as well. The building of the school is one of the most damaged building.
For 2 days already Azerbaijan has been trumpeting the 2 civilian victims, in particular, the loss of the 2 years old child, showing off the photograph of the child’s dead body in international tribunes and illustrating Armenians’ aggression. Meanwhile, as already informed, Azerbaijani military force turned its own population into a live shield once again on the evening of July 4, deploying the military posts in the village nearby the border.
Vaghinak Tatul Grigoryan, born in 2004, was killed and 2 children were injured in the result of the bombardment carried out from BM-21 (“Grad”) multiple rocket launcher in April of 2016 by Azerbaijani military force, famous for military crimes, which accuses the Armenian side for the death of the child (Armenian side demolished the military object deployed in the Azerbaijani village, which was firing the Armenian positions: an elderly woman with her granddaughter died).
The ruined school building is not subject to usage, it it under the target of the adversary. Inside the building, taking each step is marked by the sounds of the crushed glass, and it seems that some of the classrooms (difficult to pronounce that word in this case) were visited by a tornado… You pull the broken pieces of arc of “Grad” fallen on the floor of the ruined classroom by your foot and you visualize the motto of the saved pupils – “the motherland begins with Talish”…
By the way, Talish will have a new school soon. (The photographs were taken a month ago, during the visit in Talish.)
