Dina Nikolaevna (no family name is given), who lived in Shaumyan, testified:
Interview by Mikhail Tyaglyi and Tatyana Velichko in 2010
- You’ll see it on the left side of the road. Drive slowly, you’ll see a hill. You’ll see ruins, and you’ll see it behind the ruins. She said that there were fires, and one could hear children’s screams from there. They were bringing them from all over the place. I don’t know where they were shooting them…right here or there. Probably there.
