A Wedding in Blockaded Artsakh on Day 42

A wedding took place in blockaded Artsakh on 22 January. Photographer Davit Ghahramanyan published a photo from the wedding ceremony on his Facebook page and wrote: “The crowning of Gegham and Arev at St. Hagop Church in Stepanakert. The 42nd day of Artsakh’s blockade by Azerbaijan’s terrorist authorities.” Let us recall that Artsakh has been under a complete blockade for 43 days now; the gas supply to Artsakh has also been cut off, and the high-voltage power lines have been damaged. More than 120,000 Armenians of Artsakh, including some 30,000 children, remain under blockade.

New Cross Consecrated at Karmir Vank in the Neutral Zone of Haykadzor, a Border Village with Turkey (Photo) — Shirak Governor Nazeli Baghdasaryan, along with representatives of the regional administration and the acting head of the Ani community, Arman Saribekyan, attended on 21 January the consecration ceremony of a new cross at Karmir Vank, the Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator, located in the neutral zone of Haykadzor, a village bordering Turkey. The cross was consecrated by the head of the Shirak Diocese, Archbishop Mikayel Ajapahyan, after which it was placed on the dome of the monastery through the efforts of the residents of Haykadzor. The church had been deprived of its cross in 2015 due to strong winds. The dome and cross of the church, which has endured many trials but remained standing, had been damaged in the 1990s, during the years of independence, when Turkey had already closed the border with Armenia. According to records, the initiator of the church’s construction was Bishop Sargis, the head of Horomos Monastery. It was built by the architect Samehan between 980 and 985.
