“Maragha was the first village where I fought. After Maragha one could lose its mind. I witnessed in reality more than in horror films one could see – raped, mutilated and tortured corpses, 6-month-old babies boiled alive, beheaded elderly – what to tell, how to tell… ”

The first mournful news came form her friend, Anzhela, a pregnant woman in her 8 months who was undressed right in the street, mocked and burned alive. Then her husband’s turn came. “Thirteen people attacked Victor, the perpetrators stabbed him for multiple times, then one of the attackers beheaded, holding his severed head from hair and showing in front of Anahit’s eyes. ”

Those dreadful acts are even hard to read. They are so unimaginable, inhumane that one may not even imagine to speak about. Yet there were people who suffered these brutalities, and among those who witnessed -  That was a woman – Anahit Martirosyan.

This should be known and must never be forgotten, although Azerbaijanis will never allow us to forget it.

Woman: Woman? “I was just 24 years old, weighting 45 kg”. We call 24-year-olds children even if they had their own children. All what I witnessed are inexpressible, this hero woman, this child who had her own children has fought. She decided for herself to take the weapon and enter the battlefield. What a will ……

Anahit insisted to be taken to frontline as a medical sister. The brave woman saved lives of 14 wounded soldiers. Those saved turned to Komandos to form a military  brigade under the command of Anahit Martirosyan.  The brigade was named “Anahit”. “Pargev  Srbazan (Primate of the Diocese of Artsakh of the Armenian Apostolic Church) merged the brigade with the group of “Holy Cross” 14 consecrates from Russia that had arrived to fight along with Armenians. Thus, our intelligence unit was formed.”

I wish to meet her but to not talk about all this. No

“We are remembered either on May 9 or other holidays. The only place I would go with please is the school even if I am sick. I am tired of other occasions, to tell the truth. It seems people tend to break into your life and dig into your memories. There are times when I want to forget everything. Either way I have lost my sleep, suffering from nightmares. Every time I recall the past I feel pain,” says Anahit, in the meantime wondering why she was sharing her thoughts.

        
Why I recall all this I am not sure, “ Anahit told in an interview to Mediamax.

“You get a satisfaction from revenge. The Turk should know the Armenian of the 1915 is now different. Now the Armenian will not tolerate, is of a struggling type and will never leave an action without response. You know, I perhaps avenged yet paid high cost for that. I lost my composure, the peace at my heart. Apart from the revenge, I liberated a combat position with my unit. Neither wealth, nor power may be above that. Nothing can be compared with the unexplainable feeling of liberating the motherland. We have the unique color of our land and should never allow a foreigner to step on it.”

Let u live long as the Motherland has been liberated for us!
Let us live with gratitude and honoring their service!
Let us preserve it!
