In Armenia, intense fighting and clashes took place on the border with Azerbaijan, causing 2500 people to flee from the provinces of Gegharkunik and Syunik. Armenia says at least of its 135 soldiers were killed this week's clashes. Most of the evacuees have found refuge in the town of Martuni.
Sotk, a village in Armenia, has become a ghost town surrounded by artillery fire. People are rushing to grab whatever they have left. Most of the village's inhabitants have found refuge in the town of Martuni, 50 kilometres away. One of the safe spaces is an evangelist church where many children have just spent the night hiding from heavy shelling.
