In 2003, Hovhannes embarked on his educational journey at Primary School No. 8 named after Al. Pushkin in Yerevan. After graduating with honors, he continued his studies at the National Agrarian University of Armenia. Known for his fair-minded character and remarkable maturity, he displayed wisdom beyond his years. In 2016, Hovhannes was drafted into the Armenian army and heroically participated in the four-day war. In 2020, he volunteered for the Armenian army, actively engaging in the intense battles in Jarakan, where he met his immortal fate. Hovhannes was a dreamer who cherished life and sought to discover something new every day. He aimed to avoid mistakes and had an unwritten motto that he shared with others: “You don’t have to make a mistake to learn from your mistake; you also have to learn from other people’s mistakes.” In recognition of his sacrifice, Hovhannes was posthumously awarded the “Combat Cross” order.
