“… That frosty morning we had to march on dead bodies. In order to cross a 1 km swamp near Dashbulag, we has paved a road composed of dead bodies. I refused to march on dead bodies. Then colonel Oganyan ordered me not to scare. It is one of military laws. I have pressed my one foot onto the breast of a wounded girl aged 9 or 10 years and marched…

My legs, my photo camera were in blood…So I marched on around 1200 corpses”.

Her face was already of a blue color. But she was still alive despite of hunger, coldness and wounds. She had a little breath. I cannot forget her eyes striving with death…
Suddenly a soldier called Tigranyan took her on hair and threw among others… Then they poured oil on the dead bodiesand set fire on them. It seemed to me that someone was crying in fire between dead bodies… After all I could not go further. But I wanted to see Shusha… I returned. And they continued their battles for the sake of Crucifix…”.
