On the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the Armenian army, the
commander of the Sasuntsi David detachment Hamlet Hovsepyan and the
commander of the Arabo detachment Manvel Yeghiazaryan held a press
conference.

According to Hovsepyan, they started forming voluntary detachments
in the bordering regions. One of the notable battles was the Yeraskh
battle, when the Azeris started leaving Nakhidjevan. According to him,
that was an excellent period to take Nakhidjevan back.

after Sumgait events. Arabo detachment was formed on October 4, 1989
in the Khachik village. Fights against the soviet troops took place.

There were 1710 soldiers in Arabo, 100 of them were killed or injured.
