November 3 Academician of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences,
member of the Karabakh Committee, participant of the World War II
Rafael Ghazaryan died after a long and serious disease.
Not being a political figure himself, Rafael Ghazaryan was actively
participating in the social-political life of Armenia. Over the
past years Rafael Ghazaryan was participating in the activity of the
Council of Elders of the Forum of Intellectuals.
RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan issued a message of condolence
connected with Rafael Ghazaryan’s death.
"With great pain I learned about the loss of Rafael Ghazaryan,
Academician of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences.
Undeniable is Rafael Ghazaryan’s contribution to the national revival
of 1988, the spiritual recreation of our people and development of
newly independent Republic of Armenia. Great is Academician Ghazaryan’s
input into the development of Armenian science, particularly radio
physics.
I’m sure that his image of an intellectual, scientist and an active
citizen serves and will still serve as a good example for many figures
of the new generation.
I deeply mourn the death of Rafael Ghazaryan and condole with his
family and friends."
