‘A 7-Year-Old Child Taken as Captive Inserted His Fingers into the Turk’s Eye Sockets, Stirred Them to Remove His Eyes’ - Hasmik Babajanyan

Journalist Hasmik Babajanyan wrote on her Facebook page: ‘I wrote a post earlier about a seven-year-old boy from Kornidzor during the previous war in Artsakh. An Azerbaijani had stolen him and was taking him captive. The child inserted his fingers into the Turk’s eye sockets from behind and stirred them to remove his eyes. The Turk yelled, threw the child down, and fled. I wrote this for the sake of our boys, who are not surrendering or being taken captive; seek the real reasons for captivity.

Just now, I received a letter, an unexpected letter - ‘Hello, excuse me, that child is me, what’s up?’ - ‘I was the military correspondent of Syunik and had written similar heroic accounts,’ I replied. My heart felt somewhat lighter because the eagles who will spread their wings and bring back our crushed victory live among us, beside us. The child didn’t surrender even a single finger; with his small fingers, he stirred the enemy's light from his eyes. Nikol, you don’t know the Armenian people; otherwise, you would stop.

P.S. And do you know what was shocking? The name of the child, now a powerful young man, is VREZH. And his father is known in the village as ‘The Giant Kamandzir.’
