The Stones
NR 17 minDocumentary
After Armenia's defeat in the Karabakh war, Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan sign an agreement in which Armenia undertakes to surrender five territories adjacent to Nagorno-Karabakh. People who live there must leave their homes before a certain date. A few days before the end of the term, a group of Armenian volunteers, including archaeologists, visits these places to take out Armenian Christian shrines, medieval cross stones, some of the most significant values in Armenian culture. Otherwise, the cross-stones may be destroyed by the Azerbaijanis. On the way, they meet a local resident who was left alone, with things, without transport. Our volunteers have a choice, either to save the cross-stones, or this woman, because there is not enough space in the car for everything at once...
