25 տարի առաջ այս օրը՝ 1992-ի օգոստոսի 8-ին, ադրբեջանական ուժերը գրավեցին Արծվաշենը։ Դա Հայաստանի Հանրապետության միակ բնակավայրն է, որ անցել է Ադրբեջանի վերահսկողության տակ։ ՍիվիլՆեթի լրագրող Թաթուլ Հակոբյանը և օպերատորներ Արմեն Մկրյանն ու Սարգիս Բուլղադարյանը այցելել են Ճամբարակ և Դրախտիկ, որտեղ հաստատվել են արծվաշենցիները, ինչպես նաև նախկին ադրբեջանական երեք անկլավներ, որոնք Հայաստանի վերահսկողության տակ են։
On August 8, 1992, at the height of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, Azerbaijani forces gained control over the ethnically Armenian enclave of Artsvashen. While Artsvashen was lost to Azerbaijan, three Azerbaijani enclaves came under Armenian control in the early 1990s. CivilNet’s reporter Tatul Hakobyan visited the sites of former Azerbaijani enclaves in Armenia, as well as Chambarak and Drakhtik villages in Gegharkounik province, where residents of Artsvashen settled after fleeing their homes.
