In-kind exchange has flourished in Nagorno-Karabakh: all ties have been broken

Residents spoke about what is happening in the region

Information from residents of Nagorno-Karabakh appears bit by bit on social networks. One of the most detailed is from Nonna Poghosyan from Stepanakert, this is what she reports: “The last crumbs of charge through the last power bank. I am writing because I need to write… The city is completely without power, there is no bread, no food, not a single facility is working. the city is full of people with things from districts and villages, I don’t know who and where will place them.”

As it becomes clear from the posts of this and other consonant authors, people in Karabakh are waiting to see if there will be a corridor to Armenia. Nonna very emotionally conveys the mood of the local residents: “We cried all day yesterday. The children asked questions about the house, about toys, about their beds. About friends and school, teachers, and hundreds of other things dear to their nine-year-old hearts. I didn’t have answers to these questions.”

The difficult situation in the region is also confirmed by entries on Internet resources dedicated to the exchange. There, people, in particular from Stepanakert, are trying to exchange food and medicine – for example, condensed milk for painkillers. “Money has ceased to matter here. “In-kind exchange is our everyday life,” locals share their impressions.

As it becomes clear from the announcements, all logistics connections in the city have been disrupted. One of the few products that is still available is sunflower oil. There is no milk, medicine, washing powder, and, most importantly, no fuel to deliver all this to those in need. Participants of the flea market portal write their suggestions and apologize for changing goods rather than sharing them.
