Azerbaijanis began to renovate the homes located in the small portion of the Shurnukh village of Syunik that is under their control. In addition, they set up tents and raised their national flag. Unlike many others, Garen and Anush Dallakyan did not destroy their home because they believe they will return one day.
By the way, the residents of Shurnukh said that half of the home of a fellow villager, Styopa, is located in Azerbaijani territory, and the other half is located in Armenian territory. “They’re telling him to stay in his home, but how can he?” the residents said.
The Human Rights Defender of Armenia, Arman Tatoyan, spoke about Styopa Movsisyan’s problem when he was in Shurnukh over the past few days.

According to the villagers, when the Azerbaijani general arrived in the village and saw that people did not leave their homes, he was surprised. He said that he informed the villagers to leave 10 days ago, and he asked why the leaders didn’t tell them. Then, he gave them an additional three days. “He said that he is kind, and that Armenians once gave him only an hour to escape from Kubatlu,” Garen Dallakyan said. He and the other residents of Shurnukh want to know who the official was who knew about this and didn’t tell them.
By the way, the administrative head of Shurnukh, Hakob Arshakyan, told Aravot Daily that the enemy cannot enter Armenian territory, and their movement is being controlled by the Russian peacekeepers. “And they’re even scared when they see us unarmed. Where are they supposed to come?” the village leader said.
