YEREVAN. – A cross, in memory of those who have fallen for the
independence of Armenia, was erected on February 13 in Baghanis
village of Armenia’s Tavush Region, Aravot daily reports.

“A 13.5-meter-high flagstaff is erected in front of the village hall,
[and] the Armenian tricolor flag waves on it. A large cross is erected
at the village hill, facing Azerbaijani [military] positions, at
ancient Harsnakar sanctuary, which [that is, the cross] is lighted
at nights. It is always visible from the Azerbaijani [military]
positions. Harsnakar is an old sanctuary, [and] a small-sized cross
there was rising there during the Soviet years, too.

To add, Baghanis, which has a population of 832, was fiercely bombarded
and fired upon, [and] it gave eight victims during the years of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani armed conflict,” Aravot writes.
