Hasmik Iskandaryan moved to live in the village of Haterk from Yerevan
when she was a young bride. Her family lived in Russia for a long
time, but in the beginning of the movement of Artsakh they moved to
their native village.
We met Hasmik at a small shop on the edge of the village. She said
she rented the shop to "support the family somehow". Hasmik says she
has to work in the shop because she borrowed money from the bank and
hardly makes both ends meet. There is a problem with her son who has
married recently, and they are going to have a baby soon.
"The family is large, it is difficult to support so many
people. Besides, my second son fell ill. And both are unemployed. We
live in a house with two rooms. I have asked the head of the community
to help us and provide us with an apartment. Now my second son is
going to get married and I cannot have them live in two rooms."
Hasmik says everyone in their family tries to earn. Her husband serves
in the army, soon he will retire and help her with the shop. Her son,
who has disability, also wants to work but he cannot find a suitable
job. The mother says he "is fond of shoemaking", and she wants to
buy instruments for her son to earn money and help the family.
