The village of Azad Garagoyunlu in Terter district in Azerbaijan is located just 10 km away from the front line.
Throughout the entire Karabakh conflict in the past 30 years, it has been periodically exposed to gunfire. However nothing the villagers have experienced before compares to the intense daily fire that has been going on since September 27.
Many men don’t want to leave their households and are staying in the village, while sending away the women and children to their relatives in Baku and other safe districts.
