Skhtorashen

It has been 30 years since the village of Skhtorashen in the Martuni region of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is deserted. The only inhabitant is 83-year-old Lena. She has been all alone in the village for two years. Her husband used to live with her and refused to leave the village regardless the fact that it was getting deserted. Bad roads and the absence of a school resulted in people leaving Skhtorashen. Lena has four sons. One of them died in the Artsakh War. Her other sons along with nine grandchildren live in nearby villages. Lena wishes her village not to get abandoned and disappear from the map.
