From Russia to Armenia as a volunteer. Siranush Ghukasyan returned to her homeland in the first days of the war. She joined a volunteer training camp in Yerevan and completed military training. How to climb, hit the enemy, rescue a wounded friend - all this 19-year-old repatriate learned from dawn till dusk.

“We studied so much that if someone woke me up at night and asked a question, I could tell everything with my eyes closed. I just wanted to go to the front line and protect my home so that they would not reach it, so that my home would remain behind my back” - Siranush said.

The repatriated young girl also learned to provide first aid and passed on her skills and knowledge to young conscripts.

Siranush said that the war has changed a lot of things in her life: values, goals, plans: “Now I think that after us there should come a generation that will not have the idea that they were defeated or subjected to genocide. Nzhdeh said that even if you are weak, show your strength so that the enemy is afraid to attack you. We must strive not only to show, but to be so strong."

Siranush Ghukasyan imagines her future in Armenia and wants to raise her children in the homeland.
