LESSONS OF THE HERO

The Artsakh war gave us heroes who today have become a way of raising the generation.

November 22 marks the 73rd anniversary of the birth of one of those heroes – Leonid Azgaldyan. Since February 1990 he led the command of “Independence Army”, organized self-defense of Vardenis, participated in the liberation battles, including – the first attack of Nyuvady. He acted in Shahumyan and Martakert regions. In June, 1991 he created the military organization “Liberation Army” and was the commander in chief of it until the end of his life – June 21, 1992. That day the devoted son of the motherland fell from the enemy’s conspiratorial bullet near the village Tonashen of Martakert region.
