"My husband had a chance to be discharged from service due to health reasons, as he suffered numerous concussions while being at the front line for four months, but until his last breath, he did not leave his comrades-in-arms, always saying: 'Who, if not us?' All my husband's comrades-in-arms will confirm that he was a brave, experienced, and strong warrior, very responsible, reliable, devoted, and worthy comrade, never indifferent to the grief of others, and always fought for justice," wrote Irina Amirjanyan.
