“A 13.5-meter-high flagstaff is erected in front of the village hall, [and] the Armenian tricolor flag waves on it. A large cross is erected at the village hill, facing Azerbaijani [military] positions, at ancient Harsnakar sanctuary, which [that is, the cross] is lighted at nights. It is always visible from the Azerbaijani [military] positions. Harsnakar is an old sanctuary, [and] a small-sized cross there was rising there during the Soviet years, too.
To add, Baghanis, which has a population of 832, was fiercely bombarded and fired upon, [and] it gave eight victims during the years of the Armenian-Azerbaijani armed conflict,” Aravot writes.
