One of the picturesque villages of Martouni region is Kavahan that
reminds of Bakunts's Mtnadzor plunged into luxuriant forests and
majestic cliffs. Maybe I would have never learnt of Kavahan if I had
not participated in the arrangement dedicated to the 39th anniversary
of missing soldier Merouzhan Gevorgyan.
There are only 25 families living in the village, only 14 children
attend the local school and, as the school headmaster assures, they
have no first-grade pupil in this academic year.
The reality of Kavahan is disappointing: lack of primary living
conditions, no telephone communication, impassable roads, ruined
houses, migration from the village... There are plenty of problems to
enumerate but the honest and humane inhabitants of Kavahan consider
the lack of water, transport and telephone communication superior to
the others.
The rural administration, the medical post, the local club and the
school are all situated in a squalid building. The inhabitants of the
village note with regret that recently a large family left the village,
the village lost 9 inhabitants because of the lack of high school.
How people lived in this village at the world's end I found out in
aged couple Anya and Gourgen's family. They are one the old families of
the village. They had a large family, their six daughters got married
and now none of them lives in the village, their son Meruzhan was
reported missing during the war.
They live in a two-storey house but the elderly inhabitants of the
village are also going to leave it. The reason is the more comfortable
house allocated to them in another village, whereas the government
could have solved the problem of this house and the old family would
never have to leave the native village.
It is impossible to avoid a sincere and sociable Kavahan inhabitant's
hospitability while round the table you realize clearly that each
village has its traditions and its heroes who try to forget their
sufferings neglecting sorrow and looking forward to the bright future.
When we were going to bade farewell to the family, lady Anya, full of
excitement, said to us, "It is hard even to die without hope while to
live without any hope is impossible, I expect for Meruzhan to come,
endow this house with fresh life and never let his parents leave
the village..."
