Armen Andranik Martirosyan, junior sergeant, position senior (November 16, 2020, Gegharkunik region, Verin Getashen – October 7, 2020, Jabrail).
From 2006 to 2018, Armen dedicated himself to his education, studying at Upper Getashen Secondary School No. 2 and graduating with excellent results. Throughout his academic journey, he consistently stood out for his unwavering patriotism, friendly demeanor, sense of humor, and keen intuition. Armen intended to become a programmer after completing his service, alas… In January 2019, he was conscripted into the army and served in the Mekhakavan (Jabrayil) military unit. On the morning of September 27, 2019, he swiftly assumed his position and actively engaged in the ongoing conflict. Undeterred by the falling fire from the sky, he displayed exceptional bravery by extracting wounded soldiers from the battlefield, thereby saving their lives. When confronted with the task of neutralizing saboteur-reconnaissance groups, he adeptly organized and led his crew, showcasing remarkable personal courage. On October 7, he and his comrades rushed to assist another unit engaged in combat in the area, charging forward without hesitation. He sustained mortal injuries due to the explosion of an artillery shell, and his name was immortalized alongside two comrades-in-arms. His name became synonymous with courage.
