Reporter's Notebook: Outrage Swells as Civilians Suffer From Nagorno-Karabakh
Conflict

Heather Murdock

   YEREVAN, ARMENIA - "The road is not that dangerous," says Arsan, 50, a
   bus driver whose route goes from the Armenian capital of Yerevan to the
   border of Nagorno-Karabakh, the center of a conflict that has grown
   increasingly violent in the past ten days.

   "At night we just drive with our lights off near the border," he adds.

   We are surprised that Arsan characterizes an area so hot that he cannot
   use headlights as "not that dangerous."'¯Many other drivers won't go
   near the area, even for jacked-up wartime prices.
