News - Karabakh family reunites after year of separation (video)

NEWS.am has witnessed the reunion of the Arakelyan family with their father in Kornidzor, Syunik. After the 44-day war, the family displaced from Hadrut was displaced from Stepanakert this time. The father, who came to Armenia on business before the blockade of the Lachin corridor, was unable to return to his family. Today, his wife and four small children arrived in Kornidzor sitting in the tipper of a truck. The video footage shows one of the children eagerly hugging his father and asking: "Daddy, did you bring my chips?" The flow of forcibly displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh continues in the humanitarian station of Kornidzor. The Stepanakert-Goris road is covered in almost one day because of heavy traffic jams. The queue of the cars transporting displaced people starts from the center of Stepanakert. In the long queues, many of the people, who are already exhausted from malnutrition due to months of blockade, feel worse under such conditions. People leave Karabakh however; they can, using their own cars, buses, with small children sitting in the tippers of trucks. A young man reached Kornidzor from Stepanakert by bicycle.
