The favorite yard game of the children in Askeran town, in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) is “tatan.” 

Accordingly, they divide into two opposing teams, determine a conventional border, dig trenches, “battle” against each other, and shoot with toy guns (PHOTOS).

And asked who wins, they respond: “Whoever is stronger.”

The girls also join this game with great enthusiasm.

The boys have decided that they will become military servicemen when they grow up.

Life continues as normal in Askeran.
