Life in Chinari, a village in northeastern Armenia bordering Azerbaijan, has been far from normal for two decades, and the last few days have made it even more challenging and dangerous for more than 1,000 people living there.
The mountainous settlement is located near the scene of a vicious gun battle that left three Armenian soldiers dead and several others wounded in the early hours of Monday.
The incident, which the military authorities in Yerevan say stemmed from an Azerbaijani "sabotage attack" on Armenian army positions, was followed by a series of ceasefire violations along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the "line of contact" around Nagorno-Karabakh. At least five Azerbaijani soldiers were shot dead at a nearby border section the following morning in what official Baku described as an Armenian commando raid.
