/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The memory of volunteer soldiers who died in Artsakh
liberation was honored in Yerevan. RA Defense Ministry’s high ranking
officials and Shengavit Municipality Social Organizations’
representatives participated in commemorative events.
Event participants visited Erablur, the pantheon of Armenian warriors
to lay wreaths at the graves of dead soldiers, and commemorated
liberator soldiers at Shengavit memorial.
During the combat at one of Artsakh villages, on the night of April
21, 1994, 14 soldiers of Shengavit Detachment died heroic deaths,
repulsing the enemies’ attack in unequal fight. They were resigned to
the earth in the beginning of June 1994, when after lengthy
negotiations they bodies were returned to their native land.
