A Rare Photograph - 106-Year-Old Armenian Woman Stands Guard — Through the Looking Glass

On January 1st, 1990 at 12:13 pm - Armineh Johannes shot this amazing photograph for the United Nations.

A 106-year-old woman sits in front of her home guarding it with a rifle, in Degh Village, near the city of Goris in southern Armenia.

Armed conflicts took place in and around nearby Nagarno-Karabakh, a territory in Azerbaijan - also claimed by Armenia.

Thank you for your support of Through the Looking Glass and for being a patron of science and the arts.

Best wishes!
