With its waterfall, hot spring, orchards full of apricot blossom and a gorge through which the swollen Arpa River races, the town of Jermuk since Soviet times has been one of the most visited in Armenia.
The whole town now lives in fear of a further attack. We did not know which way to turn, but I do not see much future here.
The Azeris are fortifying their positions and we think when the snow is over they are planning something else.
Tourism income is down 60% as visitors are put off by the presence of Azerbaijan's forces only 3 miles away. If there is no economy, families want to leave.
