Armenian contract soldier killed in Azerbaijani gunfire

Panorama, Armenia

A contract serviceman of the Armenian Armed Forces was killed in Azerbaijani gunfire on Monday, shortly after midnight.

The soldier, identified as Ashot G. Mikayelyan, was fatally wounded in a northeastern military position, the Defense Ministry's press service reported.

The ministry shares the heavy grief of the loss, extending its condolences to the family and fellow servicemen of the deceased. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
