Armenia, Resistance Fighters from the Caucasus | Deadliest Journeys

Armenia is said to be like an inaccessible fortress. At the crossroads of Asia and Europe, 90% of the territory of this small Caucasian republic rises above 1000 meters. On December 7, 1988, in eight seconds, a terrible earthquake wiped out entire villages: 30,000 dead. Many have since left. Arman, 32, and his father have decided to stay. Before the earthquake, their village had just over 1,000 inhabitants. Today, they are only twelve. With their ancient Jigouli, a robust Russian car, they face the snowy tracks to deliver to the lonely villagers their only wealth: potatoes. Independent since 1991, following the collapse of the USSR, Armenia is slowly rebuilding its economy. Through the tenacious mist, the carcasses of old Russian factories emerge like ghosts. Here, work is rare Aris is an engineer. With five of his friends, restaurateur or even taxi, they will improvise lumberjacks: the only job they have found to earn a small salary. Their antique Russian truck still has to pass through the forest roads! Armin is Russian, Arman Armenian. The two friends, great lovers of homemade vodka, live halfway around the world: the village of Tsar, set on a plateau, bordered by sheer cliffs. Once a month, they have to bring the women of the village to stock up, their survival depends on it. The nearest town is only forty kilometers away, but the snow and the vertiginous track make the trip perilous.

It’s interesting to see how people on the other side of the world live. They’re always so positive and they have an enduring spirit. I like that

Bu videoyu hazırlayan arkadaş, 1992’nin Şubat’ında Ermenistan’ın Azerilere yaptığı katliamı içinde video hazırladımı acaba.

[Vile-Flesh]

The footage from the sky was absolutely amazing. The landscape looks both beautiful and bleak at the same time and the desolation was overwhelming. This video is so well done.

Bura Azərbaycanın Kəlbəcər r. Zar kəndidir. Mənim babalarım yaşayıb bu torpaqlarda. Tarix boyu bu ərazidə ermənilər yaşamayıb. ALLAHa şükürlər olsun ki, qeyrətli Azərbaycan ordusu tarixi torpaqlarımızı işğalçı erməni qoşunlarından təmizlədi.

The Author says that Armenia entered into conflict with Azerbaijan. But the fact is that Armenia occupied Azerbaijan's territory and forced about 1 mln. local Azerbaijanis to leave their homes and made them IDP, which is the reason for the conflict. Unfortunately, the occupational policy of the Armenian government made current Armenia isolated from its neighbours. As a result, ordinary peoples suffer from that.

Turkey closed its border, not for the reason of genocide. The main reason was the occupation of Azerbaijan territories. The author should also revise this fact in this video.

Wow, I had no idea Armenia had such brave resistance fighters! This video was really eye-opening. Thanks for sharing these incredible stories from the Caucasus!

If I ever become a millionaire would love to visit these places and help them out with reliable transportation and tyres, tools to keep them maintained, clothes if needed building materials to fix there homes live stock etc because they’re good people just trying to scrape by. That little boy will be tough when he is grown, bless him.

I visited Armenia some years ago whilst on a motorcycle touring holiday
Came into the country from Georgia and went to Lake Savan via Vanajor. Clockwise around Sevan and then south to Eghegnajor and then to Yerevan. Back into Georgia then Turkey. Really enjoyed my trip and met some fantastic people. I would love to visit again.
