On February 16, an event dedicated to the legendary commander of the Artsakh Liberation War, Colonel Remik Mardanyan’s birthday, was held in Gandzakar village of Tavush region.

There are legends about a commander fighting on an equal footing with a soldier. Comrades-in-arms say that Azerbaijan promised 60 million rubles for his head in 1992. Remik Mardanyan was a true devotee of the army.

On January 4, at 01։32 an emergency call was received to Tavush Regional Crisis Management Center that haystack had been on fire in Gandzakar village.

Two fire units from the Fire and Rescue Squad of Regional Rescue Department of the Rescue Service of the MES of RA dispatched to the scene.
