Armenia, Resistance Fighters from the Caucasus | Deadliest Journeys

War, Nagorno-Karabakh is now an independent republic supported by Armenia, but not yet recognized by the international community. No peace treaty was established between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan. There are many clashes between the two armies. Christina lives in Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. From the outside, her life seems pretty normal, but her job is far from normal. I really love Christina, she is an amazing and modern woman. Her work is very difficult and dangerous. Every morning when she leaves for work, she is not sure if she will return. Near the border with Azerbaijan, the traces of the war are clearly visible.

Although she wears a uniform, Christina is not a soldier. She works for a British organization specializing in demining. There are many land mines. We're still at war, so they won't get less anytime soon. Nagorno-Karabakh is one of the most mined areas in the world. I have been a mine warfare specialist for almost four years. There seems to be something buried here. Move a little to the left, just a few centimeters. You have to approach a landmine from the side. This way it is not dangerous. The detonator is at the top, so if you touch it there it will explode.

I'm not afraid. If you follow the safety rules, everything will be fine. I'm the one who finds the landmines, not the other way around. Christina learned to overcome fear for her three children. Becoming a mine warfare specialist was the only way to improve her quality of life. She now earns 400 euros a month, four times what she earned as an accountant. This was the piece of metal I discovered. Over the past 19 years, these mine warfare specialists have destroyed nearly 60,000 explosive devices, but the war still lurks in the shadows, waiting to resurface like in 2016, when the two armies fought for four days, just on the other side of border.

The threat of war is a distant concern for Amir and Armin. Immediately, his truck refuses to move forward. The fuel pump does not work. The fuel pump failed and they had only traveled six of the 60 miles to the supermarket. Amir tries to reassure his passengers. Don't worry, I'll fix it, it won't take long. Over time, I became something of a mechanic. Where we are? I'm cold. mother? -Be calm. I'm hungry. Keep an eye on the door to make sure the goats don't escape. The fuel pump has been broken for a long time. I try to solve it whenever I can.

Nobody will bring me a new bomb here. An hour later, Amir found a solution. The fuel now flows directly to the engine. An ingenious plan, but this system still had to last another 50 miles. My poor truck. She does a lot for me and I don't have money to buy new tires. It's always the same, we always stumble up the mountain. We can't go any further. Today we will not be able to sell our goats. It is very difficult to climb today, we will not make it, we will return. God, let's hope we get there tomorrow. What are we going to tell the children now?

They are hungry, thirsty and we have nothing. The next day, the men arrive at the supermarket. There is an Armenian proverb that says that there is a lion living in the heart of every man. That's right, Armenians are determined to succeed, no matter how difficult it is.
