    The Azeri Shooting in Aygepar Was Like a Fireworks Display


    February 13 2013

    In Movses, groups of emergency aid are being formed. On February 13,
    a regular meeting of the local council took place in the village of
    Movses, region of Tavush. Ararat Avalyan, the village headman of
    Movses, said that he put forward a proposal during that meeting to
    form 2 groups of first aid. Every group will consist of 5-6 people;
    they will render assistance in case of emergencies - fires, evacuation
    etc. He said that they had allotted a room in the village
    administration building for those groups to be on duty, currently the
    plan of their activities was being drawn up. A. Avalyan said that
    thanks to the charity of Vazgen Vanesyan, a fellow villager living in
    Russia, the village had a fire engine. The village headman informed
    that on the night of February 13, it was relatively peaceful, but the
    roofs of 15 houses in the village, windows of houses had been damaged
    by the shots fired before that. A bullet penetrated the house of one
    of the villagers and damaged the refrigerator. The village headman of
    Nerkin Karmiraghbyur, Manvel Kamendatyan, informed that on the night
    of February 13, till 12:30 p.m., the Azeris were continuously shooting
    at the village. `The whole village is worried; they don't sleep at
    night,' the village headman said, adding that the roofs of houses had
    been damaged by the shooting. In his words, there is a kindergarten
    and a school in Nerkin Karmiraghbyur; the school is 300-400m away from
    the border; the Azerbaijani military use new, more accurate weapons.
    Andranik Aydinyan, the village headman of Aygepar, said that on the
    night of February 13, the village was under heavy fire. `They were
    shooting from roughly 15 places; because of those bullets, the sky
    above the village was illuminated as if by fireworks, as if it was the
    night of the New Year. Then it started to rain, and the shooting
    ceased,' A. Aydinayn said. In his words, the shooting was so intense
    that they couldn't raise their heads to see, where they were shooting
    from. On the night of February 13, the window of Andranik Hovakimyan,
    a resident of Aygepan, was broken because of the shooting, and that
    family was compelled to spend the night in someone else's house. A.
    Aydinyan said that the school and the kindergarten of Ayegpar were
    300m away from the border. Voskan SARGSYAN
