Residents of Varhavar, a village in Armenia’s southeastern Syunik Province, have been afraid to stay indoors since a powerful earthquake struck neighboring Iran on August 11, killing more than 300 people there. The earthquake and its aftershocks were felt in much of Armenia, especially near the border with Iran, damaging houses in Varhavar and neighboring towns. (RFE/RL's Armenian Service)
