Siranush Sargsyan reports on Azerbaijan’s siege of indigenous Armenians in her disputed homeland of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
“This is history,” said Siranush Sargsyan of the genocide against 120,000 Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh. “This is also my story, my family story. I’m also the victim of the war that I report on.”
“Azerbaijan didn’t provide a realistic option of co-existence. Its military took over our lands letting us know that we should leave,” Sargsyan’s posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, captured her state of mind: Feeling “limbless,” she walked through the large crowds of her countrymen hovering and lined up around humanitarian aid tents.
“I wanted to see more women in politics who could improve decision-making and create a better living environment in Artsakh,” Sargsyan said. She even campaigned, unsuccessfully, for the 15-member all-male Stepanakert City Council.experts “identified Israeli-made M095 DPICM cluster munitions” used by Azerbaijan. Over 5,000 died and thousands were displaced by the time Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia signed a tripartite Russian-brokered ceasefire agreement on Nov.
Months after the 2020 war, walking the streets she imagined seeing the faces of those who had died. She remembers in tears the loss of her beloved uncle but gets most emotional detailing the death of her brother-in-law, a special forces soldier. His death dramatically impacted her “smart university graduate” sister, who had chosen to be a stay-at-home mom to “pamper her son and husband.” Their 20-year marriage ended on Nov.
Following the Azerbaijan blockade in winter 2023, Siranush stands by the “We Are Our Mountains” memorial constructed with volcanic tuff rocks—which represents the Armenian heritage of the mountain people of Karabakh.
