One of my best friends, Alexander Harutyunyan, our Sashik, died a brave death today in the fight for our holy Motherland.
We have been fighting together since 1992, overcoming trials, often looking straight into the eyes of death ...
He became one of the first to receive the Order of the "Battle Cross" of the 1st degree in the First Artsakh War.
My hero friend, this time the deadly shell of the enemy did not bypass you, and you joined our martyred friends.
You left your love and devotion to the homeland as a lesson for generations.
"Rest in peace ...", the President of Artsakh wrote.
