[Presenter] The Tapqaraqoyunlu village of Goranboy District, which
is located near the contact line of Armenian and Azerbaijani troops,
regularly comes under fire. Now a defence wall is being built to
defend the village from enemy bullets.
[Corespondent] This need arises from an increasing risk to life in
a village that comes under fire every day. Enemy bullets can put an
end to the life of any villager any time. Since the area where the
defence wall is being built is considered to be a completely dangerous
territory, it is impossible to carry out work here during the daytime.
Enemy positions are located 150 meters away from the shooting site.
The staff of the state rehabilitation agency are waiting for the dark
and will start the construction work in the area shortly.
Stones have been brought to the area to carry out the construction.
However, Armenian soldiers fire at the equipment that carry stones
at night. Luckily, there have been no casualties. However, the lives
of the staff of the state rehabilitation agency and villagers are
in danger.
[Mugan Suleymanov, captioned as a village resident who is involved in
the construction work] They keep working despite the shooting. Guys
are not afraid and are working.
[Corespondent] The Tapqaraqoyunlu village cemetery is also in the area
where the wall is being built. It is risky to bury people who have lost
their lives. Two days ago, the brigade that was doing construction
work, came under fire from night till morning and therefore, could
not leave the area. Villagers believe that the tall wall will be very
important for them.
[Rafiq Huseynov, captioned as the chairman of the village council]
We wait for the night to be able to work there. I think we will be
able to visit 90 per cent of the village cemetery safely [after the
wall is built]. Bullets will not hit some of the houses any more.
