A group of young activists have visited two Armenian villages situated near the country's northeastern border with Azerbaijan to bring new books donated to the local libraries through an internet-assisted campaign.
The Tavush region's rural communities of Nerkin Karmiraghbyur and Aygepar, situated about 200-220 kilometers from capital Yerevan suffered greatly during the war with Azerbaijan in the 1990s. They continue to bear the consequences of the conflict even today as the situation along the border remains volatile. The two villages have been in the news particularly in recent months as major ceasefire violations occurred there. Local civilians and infrastructure were also targets of Azeri sniper attacks when tensions escalated last summer.
