Lonely woman, 92, lives in shack in Armenia’s Gyumri – Video

19:50 – 04.05.13

A 92-year-old resident of Armenia’s second largest city, Gyumri, has
been living in a desolate shack since the 1988 devastating earthquake
that ruined the city, leaving hundreds dead.

The husband of Manya Grigoryan, who lost a two room apartment after
the disaster, had gone missing in the Great Patriotic War (World War
II). The woman says a certificate which she received from the state
for purchasing an apartment has been lost, leaving her homeless for
years.

Below is the video material prepared by the Gyumri-based center Shirak.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
