VIDEO. "Nikol picked up a piece of paper – is that our border? If you don't know the border, don't speak." A woman from Voskepar
On the way from Yerevan to Voskepar, there is a monument-spring, which is dedicated to my husband. It will fall into the enemy’s territory, said a resident of Voskepar, who also works in the village shop, in an interview with NEWS.am. "I myself fought in the 1990s, as a woman, I participated in battles, so now I have no fear or terror. Has Nikol participated in the battle? Does he know what a fight is? Does he know that we have relatives buried here? If he has a relative buried in Voskepar, it won't be so easy for him. Geghaznik Mikayelyan (a national hero) has been to my house. We have shed blood, how can we give away land? We are giving it away, but let them give us back our land too. Do you know how much land we have in Berkaber, 900 hectares? We had a pumping station there; I worked there with my husband. Now they are saying that Voskepar residents should come and protest. We are protesting with our presence. Let Nikol come with his family one day," she said.
The woman from Voskepar expressed regret for not participating in the meeting with Nikol Pashinyan. "I would have gone and asked: have you been to Voskepar? Have you fought in Voskepar? Let Mikayelyan Sasun, who is now the head of the Yekm, come. Our village chief says they should not even come this side of the river. Nikol asks where the river is. He picked up a piece of paper and says, 'This is it.' Is that our border? If you don't know the border, don’t speak. If only there were a Vazgen, I wouldn’t want anything else," she said.
