Lt. General Ruben Grigor Maghalyan (Magalov) is an Armenian military figure of the last period of the Soviet army. Starting his service as a cadet in Tbilisi, he completed it in Rostov-on-Don as a Lt. General and deputy commander of the North Caucasus Military District, after which he retired.

She is demanding, opinionated, rarely smiles, but very friendly. I listen to her lesson: German language, which is considered a stale language, from her mouth sounds very melodic… Astghik Harutyunyan teaches at the Military-sports Lyceum after Monteh Melkonyan.

I was born in the village of Aznek, Askeran region. We can say that normally I could not study, because it was the most difficult period of the war. My friends and I ran away from home, want to fight, but we were told: “You are still young, the war is not your case, wait”.

This book is about the heroism of Commander Hakob Melkumyan, under whose leadership Enver Pasha’s 40 000-army was destroyed. Hakob Melkumyan was a staunch ally of Alexander Myasnikyan, Hayk Bzhishkyan, Vahan Teryan.

In my interview with the National Television of Talyshistan, and in some of other interviews called NTT a new stage in the struggle of the Talysh National Movement for independence of Talyshistan. Four months after the beginning of the broadcasting, I can add one thing: NTT is also a new stage in the struggle of all the indigenous peoples of Transcaucasia for independence! Because the NTT is a role model event also in terms of the consolidation of all the indigenous peoples of the Caucasus in their struggle. Talysh National Movement, since 2003, has actively been working towards unification of these peoples. We have repeatedly written about this, and appealed to the leaders of all these nations through mass media to unite in a common front. For us, it was always clear that only together we can achieve freedom. Armenian people of Karabakh, having gained its independence already, has launched major regional projects to support the struggle of other friendly peoples of the region. This is more than an important and laudable initiative.
