For now, there is no border post to stop Shurnukh s residents from crossing back and forth between Armenian and Azerbaijani territory. The only indication of the border is a small blue sign recently erected by Azerbaijani soldiers.
But Aleksanian can see the flags of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the Russian peacekeepers from outside her shop. She says she has sold items to some Russian peacekeepers and would sell to Azerbaijanis or anybody else who comes into the shop to buy something. Why not? I am a shopkeeper, she told RFE/RL. What difference does it make for me if they are Armenian, Azerbaijani, or Georgian?
