Artsakh children on return to Stepanakert: ‘We thought Azerbaijanis would take us hostage’

On January 17, 19 minors - boys and girls - returned to Stepanakert, accompanied by Russian peacekeepers, after a forced 37-day stay in Goris, the southern Armenian town halfway between Yerevan and Stepanakert. Azerbaijanis had stopped their vehicles in the area of Shushi-Karin Tak, barged in and filmed the children. Due to the commotion, one of the children had fainted. CivilNet spoke to some of the children after they reached Stepanakert.
