Marat Harutyunyan ft. Alin Demirdjian - One Province, One Song | Episode 11: MARTUNI
Հերոս Տումեցիներին - Heros Tumetsinerin (Hero of Tum)
Music & Lyrics: Marat Harutyunyan
In 2016, some time after the April War between Artsakh and Azerbaijan, one of Marat's students at the Art School of Togh, about 14-15 years old, asked him to write a song for his father who fell in the war. He learned that the boy was from the village of Tum, in the Hadrut region, and was also from the same village as the leader of the Artsakh liberation struggle of the early 20th century: Tevan Stepanyan. The author thought of writing a song that should not be too sad and heartbreaking, but rather to inspire the child, give him wings and inspire hope and faith in the future for the new generations.
ONE PROVINCE, ONE SONG:
‘One Province, One Song’ («Մեկ Մարզ, Մեկ Երգ») is a project by the Argentinian-Armenian singer-songwriter Alin Demirdjian. The project aims to discover the diversity of the local musical scene and the cultural identity of each province (‘marz’) in Armenia and Artsakh.

Amaras Monastery
Nagorno Karabakh’s Amaras Monastery is one of the most treasured historical and religious sites of the South Caucasus, and one of the world’s oldest Christian monuments.
Armenia Fund: Sos Residents Ready to Defend their Land
(Armenian-language video. For the English version, visit
Sos is a small village in the Martuni Region of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh Republic – NKR), located only 20 kilometers from the Artsakh-Azerbaijan border. During the Artsakh War, in the 1990s, the community sustained heavy losses, with 150 residents killed while defending their country.
Although Sos emerged unscathed from the April 2016 War, it has once again demonstrated its unwavering willingness to fight for its ancestral lands.
Since the April war, scores of Sos residents have taken time off from their jobs to volunteer with the NKR Defense Army, serving on the border.
Mayor Hunan Grigoryan says the memory of Sos’ 150 fallen soldiers and officers further intensifies his fellow villagers’ sense of moral obligation and makes them even more vigilant.
Despite the constant threat of another Azeri invasion, Sos remains optimistic. That’s because its residents not only draw immense inspiration from pan-Armenian unity and support, but believe that their village is protected by its revered, 1600-year-old landmark, the famed Amaras Monastery.

ПУТЕШЕСТВИЕ В АРЦАХ
Нагорный Карабах - это не имеющий выхода к морю регион на Южном Кавказе, расположенный между Нижним Карабахом и Зангезуром и охватывающий юго-восточный диапазон гор Малого Кавказа. Регион преимущественно горный и лесной.
Монастырь Амарас — раннесредневековый монастырь в юго-восточной части Нагорного Карабаха.
В начале V века создатель армянского алфавита св. Месроп Маштоц основал в Амарасе первую армянскую школу, отсюда же началось распространение в области армянской письменности. В 489 году, уже после того, как по договору между Персией и Византией эти земли были отторгнуты от Армении, царь Албании Вачаган III Благочестивый из местной ветви парфянской династии Аршакидов (по другой версии, из армянского рода Араншахиков), находит уже забытую могилу св. Григориса, строит над ней часовню и восстанавливает церковь. Именно эта часовня сохранилась по сей день почти без изменений под алтарём церкви монастыря Амарас. Однако в конце V века гробница Григориса была расположена рядом с церковью. Впоследствии, в процессе многочисленных перестроек непосредственно над часовней-усыпальницей была возведена церковь.
В 1848 году, при гандзасарском митрополите Тёр-Багдасаре, Амарас был возвращён Армянской Церкви. В отличие от самой церкви, оборонительные стены монастыря и гражданские здания сохранились без существенных повреждений. В 1858 ходу на средства шушинских армян здесь была построена новая монастырская церковь на месте старой, повреждённой.
В 1931 году в Нагорном Карабахе насчитывалось 112 армянских церквей и 18 монастырей. В течение 6 месяцев, все они были закрыты властями.
Так Амарас, будучи одним из храмов подлежащих открытию, подвергся нападению со стороны азербайджанских войск спустя всего 2 дня после открытия своих дверей для прихожан.
В мае 1991 года подвергся сильному разрушению со стороны азербайджанских войск. Храм дважды подвергался нападению военных. По словам местных жителей, храм подвергся разграблению азербайджанскими омоновцами и жителями соседней азербайджанской деревни. В результате чего была украдена церковная утварь и пожертвования прихожан.
В 1992 году, когда в ходе карабахской войны Амарас был занят азербайджанскими войсками, гробница внука Григория Просветителя, св. Григориса, была разрушена.
Амарас, Тигранакерт, Зонтики - это были основные

Armenia Fund: Community Center Built in Mushkapat
(Armenian-language video. For the English version, visit
In the spring of 2015, the residents of Mushkapat, a picturesque alpine village in Nagorno Karabakh’s Martuni Region, celebrated the opening of their brand-new community center. The multifunctional facility, comprising the mayor’s office, the post office, a medical clinic, a computer center, and an event hall, was built by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, with donations from French-Armenian benefactors and additional support from the government of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh).
Like scores of other community centers built by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund across Artsakh and Armenia, Mushkapat’s own has significantly improved the daily lives of villagers, by integrating various services in a central structure and functioning as a wonderful gathering place for the community.

Տնջրին 2033 տարեկան հսկա չինարի ծառ է Արցախի Վարանդա գավառի Սխտորաշեն գյուղի հանդամասում։ Խորհրդային Միության շրջանում այս ծառին անձնագիր է շնորհվել՝ որպես ԽՍՀՄ տարածքում գտնվող ամենատարեց և ամենաբարձր ծառի։ Չինարին ունի 44մ² մակերեսով փչակ, որտեղ կարող է տեղավորվել հարյուրից ավելի մարդ։ Հսկա ծառի սաղարթի ստվերը կազմում է ավելի քան 1400 մ²։ Տնջրու բնի շրջագիծը հիմքում 27մ է, իսկ բարձրությունը 54 մետրից ավելի, մոտ 18 հարկանի շենքի բարձրությամբ։ Սխտորաշենի չինարին իր արտասովոր չափերով գերազանցում է Էգեյան ծովի Կոս կղզու ծառերին։ Ինչպես նաև Աշխաբադի մոտ գտնվող Փիրուզե կիրճի ծառերին։ Արցախցիների համար Տնջրին դարձել է ուխտատեղի։ Ծառի տակից բխում է հորդառատ ու սառնորակ մի աղբյուր, որը դարեր շարունակ սնել է հսկա չինարուն, ինչպես նաև հագեցրել հունձ ու կալ անող շինականի ծարավը, ջրաղացի քարը շարժել։
Պատահական չէ, որ ծառը պաշտամունք է դարձել տեղի բնակչության համար: Համարվում է, որ եթե մարդը փչացնի սուրբ ծառը, ապա նրան կմնա ապրելու ընդամենը յոթ օր: Այս ծառի շողքի տակ էին հանգստանում մեր անցյալի երևելի մարդիկ ինչպիսին են Մեսրոպ Մաշտոցը (Vդ.), Մովսես Խորենացին (Vդ.), Սայաթ-Նովան (XVIIIդ.), Րաֆֆին և շատ ուրիշներ:
ծառի անվան պատմությունը, հավելեց, որ տունկը և ջրի բառերը միացել են և դարձել Տնջրի,
Հնագույն աղբյուրները վկայում են, որ Մեսրոպ Մաշտոցն այդ ծառի մոտով է անցել դեպի Ամարաս՝ իր սուրբ առաքելությունը կատարելու:
Հսկա սոսին բազմիցս կայծակնահար է եղել, ներսում առաջացել է «բնակմակերես» ժամանակակից 3 սենյականոց բնակարանի տարածքով՝ 44 քառակուսի մետր: Ծառի շրջագիծը հողի մակերեսում 27 մետր է,
Տնջրին մի քանի «դուռ» ունի, «կենտրոնական» մուտքով ձիավորը հեշտությամբ մտնում է ներս: Գարնանից մինչև ուշ աշուն ծառի տերևները փարթամ են, մուգ կանաչ: Ըստ մասնագետների՝ ծառը մեկ օրվա ընթացքում «խմում» է 4,5 տոննա ջուր: Ծառի ստվերը ծածկում է 1400 քառակուսի մետր մակերես: Հազարամյակների ճամփա անցած ծառի մասին հիշատակված է «Հայկական Հանրագիտարանի» 10-րդ հատորի Սխտորաշենին նվիրված հոդվածում:
Լեռնային Ղարաբաղի Հանրապետության մայրաքաղաք Ստեփանակերտից 37 կիլոմետր հեռավորության վրա Մարտունի վարչական շրջանում գտնվող Տնջրի ծառը (ծառատեսակը Չինարի)

SUMMARY
=======
The Republic of Artsakh (; Armenian: Արցախի Հանրապետություն Arts'akhi Hanrapetut'yun), or simply Artsakh, also known by its official name between 1991 and 2017, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (), is a de facto independent country in the South Caucasus, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. The region is populated mostly by Armenians and the primary spoken language is Armenian. Artsakh controls most of the territory of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast and some of the surrounding area, giving it a border with Armenia to the west and Iran to the south. Its capital is Stepanakert.
The predominantly Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh was claimed by both the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the First Republic of Armenia when both countries became independent in 1918 after the fall of the Russian Empire, and a brief war over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out in 1920. The dispute was largely shelved after the Soviet Union established control over the area and created the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) within the Azerbaijan SSR in 1923. During the fall of the Soviet Union, the region re-emerged as a source of dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In 1991, a referendum held in the NKAO and the neighbouring Shahumian region resulted in a declaration of independence based on its right of self-determination. Large-scale ethnic conflict led to the 1991–1994 Nagorno-Karabakh War, which ended with a ceasefire.
The Artsakh Republic is a presidential democracy (in the middle of transforming from a semi-presidential one, after the 2017 referendum) with a unicameral legislature. Its reliance on Armenia means that in many ways it functions de facto as part of Armenia. The country is very mountainous, averaging 1,097 metres (3,599 ft) above sea level. The population is predominantly Christian, most being affiliated with the Armenian Apostolic Church. Several historical monasteries are popular with tourists, mostly from the Armenian diaspora, as most travel can take place only between Armenia and Artsakh.
