Injured Armenian soldiers: We are ready to drive back adversary at any moment

YEREVAN, APRIL 18, ARMENPRESS. The heroes of the 4-day war in the contact line of Karabakh-Azerbaijan had never thought that they would be injured or killed during the military operations. They heroically fought against the enemy believing that they have no right to be mistaken.

49 injured servicemen are currently receiving treatment at the Central Military Hospital of the Defense Ministry.

They have already shared their impressions with many journalists and media agencies, and every time they confirm their readiness to return to Artsakh to protect the civilians. Moreover, many of them have put a task before themselves to inflict heavy losses on the enemy. “Armenpress” took an interview with patients receiving treatment at the Central Military Hospital, but not only with those injured during the April war, but those injured as a result of subversive acts conducted by the adversary before the April events.

Sergeant Edik Martirosyan, 20 years old

I was injured on April 4 in Mataghis, from a mine explosion. I was taken to hospital, than, to Yerevan. I went to the military positions on April 1. The adversary started to fire at us from different caliber weapons at night. I fought for 4 days without thinking that I can be injured because I realized that I was doing something sacred, protecting my motherland. Whatever I do, I do it for my motherland, our mothers and sisters.

…I wish my friends good health, always remain unyielding, so as to be able to protect our country, our soil. And I will try to recover as soon as possible, to join them. I cannot help myself; I want to be with my friends.

…My friend was injured with me. He is now in Artsakh’s hospital, but he is in a good condition. I am not depressed that I was wounded, I am not afraid.

…We are ready to repel the enemy at any moment. Till the end.

Private soldier Edgar Mkhitaryan, 18 years old

I had been in service for 9 months. I received gunfire injury. I was injured in Martakert on March 25, where I received treatment and was later moved to Yerevan. It is quite a long time I am here, I am able to move my foot a little and walk. There is great progress.

…On March 25 the adversary conducted a subversive offensive. I was the only one to be injured as a result of the subversive act. Now everything is normal, I feel well and my foot is recovering.

…I wish all the soldiers strength and vigor so as to be able to protect the border till be recover and join them.

Private soldier Vahan Sargsyan, 19 years old

We were on duty the day before the events. It happened unexpectedly. We heard shootings.

On March 30 I received gunfire injury in the stomach. Now I feel normal, doctors say that my organism has rehabilitated. I go for the better little by little. I lost consciousness after the first operation.
