This partially-destroyed stone wall in Merzuli village shows the effect of a 73-mm canon round from an Azeri BMP-1 light tank. At 2:00 pm on June 12, 1993, a large piece of shell casing from the round that hit this wall struck Avo on the side of his forehead, causing instant death. This photo was taken in April 2000.
