At a military outpost in the Martuni region of (unrecognized) Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, a group of Armenian reporters gets a chance to live one day of army life together with the conscripts . . .
"Wake up is at 8 a.m., breakfast 8:30, at 9 we are leaving for the frontline military posts," unit commander Artak Bughadyan informs us and adds: "And tonight you can talk to the soldiers, look around the unit, share supper with them."
Supper consists of fried potatoes, beat salad, cheese, butter and juice. Back at the barracks soldiers tell their stories. They all look a bit like one another – red-cheeked, shy, missing home and families too much, but having clear understanding that they are in service to their motherland here at the edge of enemy territory.
