Armenia

Siranush Sargsyan is an Armenian journalist who lived through the horrors of the ethnic cleansing of her people, the sudden attack on her homeland, Artsakh, by neighbouring Azerbaijan and the ensuing flight of nearly the entire population of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh) in September 2023.

As April flowers burst into bloom on the mountain slopes and in the valleys Nagorno Karabakh, there are almost no Armenians there to celebrate the arrival of spring in their ancient homeland.
