A soldier watches from a vantage point in the village of Taghaser in the Hadrut province of Karabakh
Remnants of village life have been replaced with the tools of war in villages such as Talish in Karabakh.
In Taghaser, Alina Simonyan mourns the loss of her brother Nver, a casualty of the April 2-5 fighting.
The Sahakyan family in Talish, like many, fled their home before it was heavily damaged by shelling.
Gharib Marutyan, a 65-year-old historian and 1992-1994 Karabakh war veteran, has brought his accordion— which survived the previous war—to entertain sons of his former comrades.
