In the report of “Yerkir Media” from the front line, the boys are in the trenches; Ruben is speaking, and he tells about the enemy’s attack: “the important thing is that we were brave enough..”. The journalist asks: “Was there a feeling of fear at that moment?” “There wasn’t, at all,” the soldier smiles. When the report was aired on television, he had already taken the path to immortality…

“Artsakh was a passion for him, and he liked it very much…”

Today our Heroes program tells about Ruben Gevorgyan’s story, a modest and brave soldier, who remained faithful to his oath to the Motherland until the end: “not to spare his life for it.” He fought bravely, leaving us his dream of having a strong Motherland.

BIOGRAPHY

Ruben Gevorgyan was born in Verin Tsaghkavan, in 1998. “Motherland begins right from the borders of my village,” Ruben had been a border guard since childhood.

His teachers told us that Ruben had been a modest, balanced, friendly student.
Despite his health problems, he served his Motherland.

He was awarded the “For Combat Service” medal for capturing enemy positions and destroying a large number of weapons, ammunition, and manpower.

During the battles, he saved his friend’s life, taking the projectile’s impact on himself. He was martyred on October 9.



“For a moment he became serious and said, “But do you know, there is something that I love more than you?”, I asked what; he said the Homeland….”
“Harut was an extremely caring and loving person…”

Our today’s edition of “The Heroes” series tells about military doctor Harutyun Chobanyan.

In 2020 on October 1, due to the war situation, Harutyun applied to the Ministry of Defense and received permission to go to the front, after serving, he again occupied the position of the head of the medical service of the Hadrut military unit. Showing excellent professional qualities, Harutyun saved the lives of hundreds of wounded until he was attacked while transporting the wounded in an ambulance.

 

October 19 is the day of commemoration of the National Hero of the Republic of Armenia, Colonel Tatul Ghazaryan, and Lieutenant Colonel Armen Ohanyan. Yesterday, on the day of their immortality, family members, high-ranking officers, regional and local authorities, clergy, and fellow soldiers paid their respect to the graves of the fallen commanders.

Eternal glory to them



“Our heroes, It is hard without you, but we will live; it is hard to dream, but we’ll dream; it’s hard to believe, but we’ll believe.”

In Noyemberyan, the troupe of the “Metro” theatre presented the play “Living dialogue” based on the stories of Vardan Amalyan, who died in the 44-day war. The stories, written by Vardan at the age of 11-13, were not just staged but were told from the stage, and Vardan’s messages were conveyed to the audience.

According to director Edgar Mehrabyan, “The title of the performance was not chosen by chance because every word brings life; whether we take it for an hour or ten days or our whole life, it is probably our personal problem.”

The members of the theater troupe admit that they always feel Vardan’s presence and spiritual power during the performances.

The actress Evelina Stepanyan says, “The performance is a call to live, to continue living and to live in a completely different way, after the war. ”

During the performance, parallel to the stories, the subject of the war and the feelings of that time are referred to.
