I knew Colonel General Gurgen Dalibaltayan in the years of service in the Soviet army. He was a classical Military: reserved, taciturn, without pathos and virtuosity, extremely hard-working, selfless and dedicated. He was the kind of person who loves his country without words, avoids demonstration of that. However, under the cool, level-headed, unemotional man the infinitely loving heart to his homeland was concealed.

The aim was to create a reliable communication between Karabakh and Armenia, as Lachin was in a difficult situation, it was surrounded by a large force of the enemy. And it is the shortest way to Karabakh. In short, historically scattered particles became united.

I’m happy with my fate. Many times I was saved from death, suffered humiliation, stayed hungry, spent hundreds of sleepless nights. And that’s all I have endured for the sake of the homeland. And the protection of the homeland – it is the duty of each of us. I do not take offense at the Germans, who tortured me many times, but this is understandable, I fought against them. But I am deeply offended by the Soviet authorities. They said that I sold my homeland, they put traitor’s stigma on me and sent to die. For what? I have always been loyal to my country and the state, citizen of which I was and for what I was fighting.

Pioneer of the RA Armed Forces, renowned military and public figure, Colonel-General Gurgen Dalibaltayan passed away on September 1, 2015.
Gurgen Dalibaltayan was born on June 5, 1926, in Georgia, the Great Aragyan village of the Ninotsminda region.
In 1947, graduated from the Infantry School in Tbilisi. In 1958-61, studied at Frounzeh Military Academy. He served in the USSR Armed Forces from 1947 to 1991. General Dalibaltayan also occupied multiple commanding positions in Echmiadzin, Yerevan, Perekeshkul, Prishib, Kirovabad, Abakan and Rostov-on-Don.

On August 27, the solemn closing ceremony of the Gathering of military-sports organizations “Union 2015: Heirs of the Victory – Armenia” was held. The event was attended by the Minister of Defense of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan, who personally presented the awards to the winners.

This year there were 92 applicants to the faculty, 30 were admitted, of which 70% received 36 or more points, two got 39,25. That’s pretty good result and talks about that the best high school graduates come to the Military Medical Faculty. And it also suggests that for them the main thing is not the free education but the desire to become a military doctor.

The commander of the air defense military unit is Lt. Col. Karen Darbinyan.
The task of the division under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Vachagan Ghazaryan is the safety and protection of the security of our airspace from the enemy offensive.
In November 2014, during the joint exercises of RA Armed Forces and Army of Defense of NKR in Artsakh, the division completing 100km hike, fulfilled the task and was encouraged by NKR President Bako Sahakyan and head of the General Staff of RA Armed Forces, Colonel-General Yu.Khachaturov.
