THE DESIRE TO LIVE: Karmir Gyugh, Artsakh S1E6 DOCUMENTARY (Armenian with English subtitles)

Episode 6 features Karmir Gyugh(Armenian: Կարմիր գյուղ), which translates as Red Village (not to be confused with "Karmir Shuka" village, which means "Red Market") is a village in the Askeran region of the Artsakh Republic. Formerly the village was called Trnavarz, it originated from the name "Ter Avez", who was the founder of this settlement. In 1921 the village was renamed Karmir Gyugh.

This village, in particular, is extra special for me, because I grew up here. My grandpa (the tonir master in this video) still lives there. This village was once home to 1800 people, but the population today is less than 180. This happened largely because of Musavat groups, who organized widespread bloodshed, the most infamous one being the Shushi massacre of 1920.

Valadants, Mets Jur, Tghke springs are famous in the village, from where we would fetch water every day. The Bovurkhana Monastery is located here too, it is built on a dense forested, beautiful mountain. The latter is an architectural complex of great interest, consisting of a church, residential, auxiliary buildings, fences.
