Films about the Liberation of Voskepar and Shushi Deleted from First Channel's Website: Marianna Paytian

Journalist Marianna Paytian writes: "To be honest, I was looking for the film about our beautiful series 'Life on the Border' concerning Voskepar on the First Channel's website, and it turned out that the entire series has been deleted from the site. Fortunately, I have a habit of keeping archives well; I will definitely upload them separately and spread the stories about our border hero villages and will start with Voskepar. And while this announcement hasn’t been deleted yet, I will share it: in one and a half minutes, border guards tell the real way to love the homeland.

By the way, about the mention of Voskepar's church, it’s worth noting that we filmed this series in 2017, we didn’t just recall the church in Voskepar, but it was also thanks to the church that I met at that time with Bishop Bagrat Galstanyan. Under the leadership of the bishop, clergymen from Tavush gathered at the Holy Mother of God Church in Voskepar, and a liturgy was conducted, participated by several dozen conscripted soldiers. I remember those days with joy and warmth; I cherish the spirit that existed then and must awaken again...

Furthermore, I continued my exploration on the Public Television website and discovered that the film covering the liberation of Shushi has also been removed. Seriously, will everything be erased from textbooks too? After all, it hasn’t even been 30 years. My dear, while forgiving the others is one thing, your homeland will not forgive you for this denial. How can one even deny it? You might as well burn your passports or cover the section 'Citizenship: Republic of Armenia' with white paint.

Moreover, even the documentary we prepared with scene recreations about the Republican Hospital in Stepanakert has been deleted.”
