My first question to Andranik Margaryan, a resident of the Shikahogh village in Armenia's Syunik Marz, elicited another question.
"Shall I answer in the language of Hovhannes Tumanyan or our lingo?"
"Both," I responded.
"Well as per Tumanyan, I can saw we are living and send each dead person off with our blessing. In our language, we are barely making ends meet," Andranik answered.
Nobody works the land anymore in Shikahogh. There's no water for irrigation. Water used to be pumped in from the Tzav River in the Soviet era. The pumping station no longer works.
