Little Alvina saw her father for only one day — they never even had the chance to take a family photo together.

Mariam’s husband, Arsen, was at the front line when, on the 22nd, their first child Alvina was born.

On September 24, by a miracle, Arsen and Mariam’s brother returned home alive.

But on September 25, Arsen and Zhoka went out to find fuel. Hours later, the powerful sound of an explosion was heard. Both Arsen and Mariam’s brother were killed.

In the empty streets of Stepanakert, Mariam searched desperately for her husband and brother, while at the same time trying to find food for her newborn baby. Her search was in vain. Meanwhile, the enemy was already at the gates of the city. On September 29, Mariam fled Artsakh.
