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.
