YEREVAN. – Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Army serviceman Gor
Darmanyan will be transferred to Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan in
several days.

The director of the Armenian Ministry of Defense Central Clinical
Military Hospital in Yerevan, Aram Asaturyan, told about the
aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

To note, Darmanyan was wounded on March 19 while defending against an
Azerbaijani military infiltration attempt, and he is currently being
treated in the Central Military Hospital of the NKR capital city of
Stepanakert.

“Gor’s [health] condition is still distressing, but there is a
positive trend; he is still in the intensive care unit,” Asaturyan
said.

To note, Gor Darmanyan’s leg was amputated

The military hospital director also informed that even though the
other two wounded soldiers–Edgar Martirosyan and Sargis Gabrielyan,
who already were transferred to Yerevan–are in satisfactory condition,
it is still too early to speak about discharging them from the
hospital.

As reported earlier, an enhanced team from Azerbaijan’s special
military detachment launched an attack, on March 19 at around 8:30am,
on the NKR Defense Army positions stationed in a northerly (Gyulistan)
direction.

As a result of the skirmish that lasted about two hours, however, the
Armenian military position holders and the relief forces compelled the
adversary to flee. Subsequently, they pursued the said Azerbaijani
military team and completely crushed them nearby their own military
position.

Unfortunately, NKR Defense Army servicemen Hakob Khachatryan (born in
1996), Eduard Hayrapetyan (born in 1995), and Arshak Harutyunyan (born
in 1995) died, and four others were wounded while confronting the
adversary. One of the wounded soldiers, Samvel Hakobyan (born in
1995), died in hospital on March 26.
