The servicemen of one of the subdivisions deployed in the area of the Azerbaijani military aggression, immediately after the start of hostilities, went on a combat mission and from the very first seconds was caught in battle with the outnumbered special forces of the enemy.
In order to ensure the deployment of fellow servicemen under intense missile fire and artillery as well as non-stop fire of large-caliber rifles, squad commander, non-commissioned officer Khachik Edward Minasyan and sergeant Narek Mkhitar Hakobyan took the enemy's fire on themselves.
During the fierce fire, non-commissioned officer Minasyan was injured. Sergeant Hakobyan, who was in the same position with him, changed his place, turning the fire direction to himself, trying to save the life of his wounded friend. Sergeant Hakobyan fought until his last bullet. After some time, however, communication with non-commissioned officer Minasyan and sergeant Hakobyan was interrupted. Thanks to the brilliant actions of the subdivision, it was possible to push back the enemy, causing a lot of losses. And the self-sacrifice of non-commissioned officer Khachik Minasyan and sergeant Narek Hakobyan are unforgettable in that combat success.
