Old woman was captured on September 18 and abused for 6 days: VIDEO

I was watering the garden outside, I saw that they were shooting. As soon as I turned around, I saw that six Azerbaijani soldiers with machine guns, putting their weapons by their side, opened the gate with their feet. They entered, tied my hands, and threw me into the car. They took me directly to Karvajar – Kelbajar/ I went there. I can’t speak Turkish well, he said: – do you have a son in the army? I said: no, as it is, I don’t like lies. He is going like: “You have killed a Turk?” I am like “I’ll take your pain, I’m an old woman, I don’t have a machine gun, why should I kill a Turk?” He says: – no, he called the commander of Azerbaijan, he said: – should I kill this woman, there is an Armenian woman? He asked: “How old is she?” He said 60-62. The commander of Azerbaijan said: “No, we don’t kill women or children, but we cut the soldiers into pieces… that’s what the bad person says.

– When did they take you away?

– On the 18th, 19th.

-September?

-This month, yes. They took me to a tent, gave me a thin blanket on a small folding bed, 2 soldiers were in front of me, they beat me with a machine gun so much, my dear, that my arms are bruised up to my feet, as much that you want to scream. He says, – “I will hit your forehead with a machine gun. I will shoot, I will kill you”. Somehow, once again at ten o’clock at night on the 7th day, they came and told me to get up. I stood up, the one said: “Hurry up, go ahead in front of me.” He took me, pulled me up into the car and said: “We’re going.” I also said, are you taking me to Baku? If you are taking me to Baku, please kill me here please, so that I don’t fall into the hands of the Turks. Kill me, I’m afraid. He said: – “No, sit down”. I sat down, they brought me to Getavan, Vaghuhas. Our “Red Cross” took me and took me to Stepanakert.

I suffered for six days, I was hungry and thirsty, they tore up my passport, any kind of document there were.. they tore it up, they threw it away, my dear, (ցավդ տանեմ-“tsaved taneem” Armenian idiom, meaning- I will bear your pain). I have no money, nothing. I don’t even have a thousand drams to buy some bread.

– Where did they capture you from?

– From Getavan, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,  from Khnkavan, Martakert village, opposite to Vaghuhas. Yes, that’s it (ցավդ տանեմ-“tsaved taneem” Armenian idiom, meaning- I will bear your pain)

– Were you alone at home?

– Yes, My child has 6 children, 6 small children, the youngest is 9 months old. He was crying. He said,- “let’s take the children”, I said: – “Take”. The children were taken away, as soon as I wanted to leave, my hands were tied.

– How did they transport you?

-The Turks brought me up to Getavan, and from there the Red Cross…  The Red Cross took me. Let God save our children

– How did they keep you for 6 days?

-Very bad. Cursing, beating.

– Did they hit you?

– Yes, they hit my head so many times with a “ball” (machine gun), this side hurts a lot.

– What did they hit with?

– With the gun, (ցավդ տանեմ-“tsaved taneem” Armenian idiom, meaning- I will bear your pain away). The condition was very bad.

– Did they give water those 6 days?

– A small glass a day, that’s it. It was very bad, my dear, I am so much frightened. They didn’t open the door, they were kicking it.

– Were you alone in the village?

– Yes, I was alone, I said that I should go out too. We were keeping livestock, I let them go, I said it was a sin, they should go graze. I saw them standing in front of me. They tied my hands and took me away. I suffered, I suffered a lot. I am worried about my children,  5 girls, 1 boy. Now  all my children have passed and have come. I don’t know if they went to Sevan or Yerevan? They know that the Turks slaughtered me. They think that I was taken as a prisoner, they think that I am already dead. Please, “let me take your pain away”, show me on TV, post it on Facebook, let my children know. I am telling you, the situation is very bad. I don’t have anyone here. I met my daughter’s neighbor, the grandmother, I said, -“I know you”, let’s take her to me. I am a man without property.

– Do you have a phone number to call the children?

– Yes, Venera has it. Yes, she knows. That’s how it is…. I’ll take your pain away… My place is small, put it on Facebook, all my children have it, they will find it soon, they are poor…

-How old are you.

– I am 62, they tore up my passport. I had a gold ring on my hand, they pulled it again. They wanted to tear off all my fingers. He took off the ring, it was a gold ring. Well, he took it out and took it. I have had many hard days, I will bear your pain away….

– Was their face open?

– Yes, yes, yes, they look very bad, very bad. Saying: – they don’t kill the citizens, but we have to kill the soldiers pieces into pieces. Yes, I “will bear your pain away..”   They say that the Sevan lake  is also under the Turks, right?…
