'Still suffering': Armenia resort struggles to heal after Azerbaijan attack

Jermuk was Armenia's busiest spa resort before arch foe Azerbaijan attacked nearly a year ago. The mountain spa town dotted with hot springs came under artillery fire in September 2022. While authorities insist Jermuk is ready to host tourists again, locals say the wounds are still raw and the tourism industry has been struggling to recover in the aftermath of the assault. The town is now deserted, with its remaining inhabitants "suffering from psychological trauma," according to tour guide Vazgen Galstyan.
