Every Day, Violetta Prays for Peace: An Artsakh Family Aided by FAR
Violetta Saghyan, age 72, spent the first days of the Artsakh war in a bathrobe, seeking a safe place to shelter from Azeri attacks. For three days she moved from village to village in her region of Artsakh.
On the third day, Violetta’s grown daughter Lusine pleaded with Violetta to leave Artsakh with her. A citizen of Stepanakert, Lusine had strong memories from her childhood of hiding in bunkers during the Karabagh War in the early 1990s. She was adamant her own children would not have the same experience, but she was anxious about leaving her mother behind.
So together they fled for Armenia, along with Lusine's five young children, ranging in ages from eleven down to two: Aghvan, Yervand, Yester, Arman, and baby Hayk.
With no time to pack, they only managed to take a few bags with them, mostly filled with children’s clothes. While they anticipated a ten-day stay in Armenia, the family has now been away from home for over a month, with their return now in question. They were able to seek temporary shelter in Dzoraghbyur, Armenia, in the home of a local family who warmly welcomed them as their guests.
The Saghyan family is among the many displaced Armenians from Artsakh, currently receiving emergency assistance from the Fund for Armenian Relief. The outreach from FAR has helped to relieve some of the distress felt by both the Saghyans and their generous host family. Learn more about FAR’s ongoing work among our people in the homeland, by reading FAR’s blog. |
