Wall Street Journalさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Wall Street JournalInstagram)「The ethnic Armenian inhabitants of Kalbajar, Azerbaijan, are fleeing this land that is to be turned over to Azeri forces on Wednesday as part of a Russian-brokered peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And they are determined to destroy whatever they can’t take with them.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Trees have been felled. Nothing but a few workbooks and desks remain in the burned-out shell of a local school. Houses in the village of Dadivank in the Kalbajar district have been stripped of materials by people leaving their homes.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ “We are builders, not burners. It is something that is hard to do,” said 52-year-old Arshak Zakaryan, pictured at left in the second photo, who was methodically dismantling the restaurant his family has run for two years on the outskirts of Dadivank. “We can’t live with Azeris.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Kalbajar and two other districts next to the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh are being handed back to Azerbaijan from Armenia as part of a Nov. 10 agreement ending six weeks of fighting between the two countries over the enclave. The districts and Nagorno-Karabakh have been controlled by Armenia since a war in the 1990s. The fate of the enclave itself, internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan, has yet to be resolved. It has long been a bone of contention between the two former Soviet republics, with each side claiming it as part of their homeland. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan doesn’t compel civilians to leave any area or abandon their homes. But nearly all Armenians living on territory to be ceded to Azerbaijan have left, saying they can’t coexist. Many Armenians expressed skepticism of the Azeri government's pledge to guarantee the rights of Armenians in the territories it has claimed, given the region’s long history of ethnic animosity between the largely Christian Armenians and mostly Muslim, Turkic-speaking Azeris.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ “I am afraid that we will be living together with Azeris. Maybe they are afraid of us too,” said Lilit Zakaryan, 33, a former computer programmer and mother of three. “Maybe they are good people, I don’t know. But this war taught us to fear them.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📷: @justmiel for @wsjphotos」11月26日 0時05分
