Siranoush, Berd
Siranush, Berd, Tavoush Region, Republic of Armenia © Onnik Krikorian / Hetq Online 2006
After arriving back to Yerevan and walking straight into a mass protest by Indian students outside of parliament, I haven’t had time until now to go through the photos I took in Berd, a town situated in the north eastern Tavoush region of Armenia and almost cut off from the rest of the country.
Now that a week’s solid work on the Indian students is almost over, I’m slowly starting to look at those images to put together a photo essay for Hetq Online on Monday. I’ll probably give readers of this blog an exclusive preview of that before the, but in the meantime just to say that we did find the family of the little girl I blogged about here.
It’s been almost two years since last encountering them and sorry to say there situation hasn’t much improved. However, on a brighter note, Siranoush — now aged 7 — is no longer the shy and somewhat sad little girl we encountered back then. In fact, she’s now delightfully boisterous and mischevious. More on that later.
great job, great story (in 2002), not to mention the photos. apres.
