13-year-old Lida Yuzbashyan was at the college during on 19 September when Azerbaijan unleashed the attack. The girl told in the framework of “Artsakh: Armenian Genocide 2023. Stories of Survivors” documentary project of Iravaban.net that the shelling began at the end of the first lesson. One of the lecturers took them to the basement, with the help of the “Red Cross” they were taken home, and then again to the basement. “We stayed in cold cellars, I didn’t feel hungry that much, but I was in a difficult situation, under stress. We were afraid of losing people.”
Lida, with her family, were on the way for 2 days. They met Azerbaijanis on the way, they asked where the passengers were from, checked their passports and the trunk of the car. “I brought some clothes from Artsakh. We left our homes and everything there.”
She also mentioned that she will never agree to live under the flag of Azerbaijan.
“I cannot live in the land which my Father, my Beloved and my Brother protected, and which is in the hands of the enemy,” she says.
