"It's still fresh in my mind what I witnessed there," says the mother of five children who were taken by force from Artsakh. "Hetq"

Aregnaz Grigoryan is still afraid of being forcibly displaced from Artsakh when he sees police cars. He relives what he saw and felt in Stepanakert's Revival Square. He tells that Azerbaijanis were freely passing through the square in police cars, filming with their phones. When Aregnaz's children were standing outside, Azerbaijanis showed them the sign of Turkish nationalist "grey wolves". "Now that I see a police car, I know that it is the Turk who is in front of my eyes," says Aregnaz.

When he tells this in the "Mtnadzor" hotel in Goris, his eyes fill up, his voice trembles for a moment.

After the 44-day war, Aregnaz got a job as a cleaner in one of the military units of Artsakh. Since it was already difficult to go back and forth to Patara during the blockade days due to lack of fuel, she lived with her children in Stepanakert, at her parents' house. They were in Stepanakert on September 19, when the war started.

Aregnaz was at work. The phone was down, unable to call home to check on the children. He was supposed to go home in the afternoon, but it was dangerous, because enemy ATSs were constantly circling in the sky, the shooting was non-stop. That night he stayed in the basement of the military unit. He remembers that the drones circled in the sky of the military unit several times at night. There was no food in the basement. It was a bread that was shared between about 10 people. "But who was in the mood to eat?" adds Aregnaz. On the afternoon of September 20, he was able to reach home. But he didn't stay there long either. They went to Stepanakert's Revival Square to come to Armenia. A few days left in the square. There was a cafe near the government building. the owner gave the keys to stay until leaving Artsakh. There was food in the cafe and it was enough for three days.
