Yerevan honored the memory of Artsakh liberator soldiers
The memory of volunteer soldiers who died in Artsakh liberation was honored in Yerevan. RA Defense Ministry's high ranking officials and Shengavit Municipality Social Organizations' representatives participated in commemorative events.


Event participants visited Erablur, the pantheon of Armenian warriors to lay wreaths at the graves of dead soldiers, and commemorated liberator soldiers at Shengavit memorial.

During the combat at one of Artsakh villages, on the night of April 21, 1994, 14 soldiers of Shengavit Detachment died heroic deaths, repulsing the enemies' attack in unequal fight. They were resigned to the earth in the beginning of June 1994, when after lengthy negotiations they bodies were returned to their native land.
