THE DESIRE TO LIVE: Martakert, Artsakh S1E12 DOCUMENTARY (Armenian with English subtitles)

The main road to the town of Martakert is now blocked, several surrounding villages are under the Azeri occupation, like Nor Maraga, Talish, Madagiz to name a few. During the war, the houses, shops, schools were shelled. The Martakert hospital was bombarded too and the HRW reported on this and other war crimes only today on Feb 26, 136 days after the strike by Azerbaijani rocket artillery on October 14, 2020. On our visit we met a woman who lost her 18-year-old son and two brothers during this war, then a doctor who told us what it was like working at the hospital during the war, the type of patients they would receive, and how her own son, an 18-year-old soldier was in a blockade and got out miraculously. The residents have returned to their homes and are trying to move on. All anyone here wants — is to live freely and peacefully. Martakert (Armenian: Մարտակերտ) the administrative capital of its Martakert Region of Artsakh and before the war had a population of about 5000. Before the war, it used to take 30 min by car to get to Martakert from Stepanakert. These days because of the blocked road which passes through Agdam it takes 2.5 hours by car due to a long detour.
