Most of the residents that were evacuated from Martakert have already returned to their homes and are living their normal lives, Vladik Khachatryan, head of the Martakert administrative region of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh), told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“Life is in full swing in Martakert; the schools, kindergartens function, and the people have started farming [again],” Khachatryan said. “The repair works of the damaged houses are continuing, too.”

During the four-day war in early April, the Azerbaijani armed forces had shelled Martakert town and several villages.
