Yerevan residents sound off on Nagorno Karabakh conflict

(19 Sep 2023) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Yerevan - 19 September 1. Woman speaking through megaphone 2. Women hugging and crying 3. Police officers walking by 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nare Navasardyan, Yerevan resident: "Defending Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), liberating Artsakh, this is the idea that is in the very basis of our statehood, and it's written in our declaration of independence, and constitution that Armenia is the number one defender of Artsakh. This is how it should be, and to trail off this course is just unacceptable for our statehood. And today I have many relatives that are not within reach, and they're in Artsakh, and of course, it's like we're the same people, same blood, same everything, and for me it's just absurd that I can't get in touch with them as they are being shelled by Azerbaijan. And I don't even know if they're alive, maybe they're in the hospital." 5. Protesters holding up Armenian flag walking by 6. Protesters with flag stretched 7. SOUNDBITE (Armenian) Tatev Karapetyan, Yerevan resident: "I lived and worked in Artsakh for two years and currently I have many relatives and friends there. Some of them are in basements, some of them are searching their children, who left for school in the morning." 8. Woman speaking through megaphone 9. SOUNDBITE (Armenian) Mikayel Voskanyan, Yerevan resident: "Artsakh is (in) total genocide. It is not a war when a starving and disarmed nation in blockade isn't even able to fight. Unfortunately, the majority of our society is inert and don’t understand what is happening." 10. Wide of square STORYLINE: Yerevan residents offered their perspective on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as protests broke out in Armenia's capital on Tuesday following recent escalation. "Defending Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), liberating Artsakh, this is the idea that is in the very basis of our statehood," said resident Nare Navasardyan. She added that "this is how it should be, and to trail off this course is just unacceptable." Azerbaijan’s forces rained artillery fire on Armenian positions in Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday, and local officials reported at five civilians were killed and scores wounded in shelling around the breakaway region’s capital. The reports raised concerns that a full-scale war in the region could resume between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which have faced off for more than three decades in a conflict over the mountainous territory. The most recent heavy fighting there occurred for six weeks in 2020. Authorities in Azerbaijan accused the other side of killing a civilian. Nagorno-Karabakh, with a population of about 120,000, is an ethnic Armenian region of Azerbaijan that has been a flashpoint since the collapse of the Soviet Union. "It is not a war when a starving and disarmed nation in blockade isn't even able to fight," said Mikayel Voskanyan, Yerevan resident and protester. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
