Yerablur has been full of people since last September. Smoke silently rises from Yerablur. It is silent and full of pain while embracing the immortal heroes. Even the sky there is sad.
People visit Yerablur in silence. From time to time, it is possible to hear the cries of a mother. It is possible to notice the father’s and brother’s tears, and the emotional whispers of the sister and wife to their hero.

Captain Artur Khachatryan died on October 20, 2020, in Ishkhanadzor (Jabrayil). There were intense and severe battles in the area.
