Shushi/Shusha, living in a symbol

Hovhannes Baghramyan

Hovhannes Baghramyan sits in his house adorned with wallpaper representing Persian landscapes. He likes to write patriotic poems and remains active because having nothing to do is a cemetery for the living. He’s Armenian but previously lived in Iran and, while his 6 sons are living in different parts of the world, he moved alone to Shushi/Shusha after retirement because he believes that the salvation of Karabakh depends on its repopulation.
