YEREVAN, JANUARY 21, ARMENPRESS. An article has been placed in Armenian “Wikipedia” on Junior Sergeant Armen Hovhannisyan, who was killed in the result of the simultaneous attempts of penetration by the Azerbaijani subversive groups. “Armenpress” reports that the article provides information about the heroic death of the soldier.  “The Azeri group attacked at night, but Armen noticed the subversives, warned our soldiers and started resistance. It gave an opportunity to the Armenian forces to be organized in a quick manner and threw away the enemy causing a great number of casualties,” the article notes.

The article needs replenishment and any person having reliable information can make changes to it adding new details about Armen Hovhannisyan’s biography.

Previously it was reported that attempts of penetration by the Azerbaijani subversive groups were recorded between 23:50 and 00:15 on January 19-20 in the north-eastern (Jraberd) and south-eastern (Korgan) directions of the line of contact of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing armies. The front units of the Armed Forces of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic noticed the actions of the Azerbaijani subversive groups and started an organized defense in both directions. The rival was thrown back suffering palpable human and material losses. Junior Sergeant Armen L. Hovhannisyan died from the wounds he received during the exchange of fire in the north-eastern direction. On 20 January Artsakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan signed a decree on awarding posthumously NKR Defense Army’s N division's junior sergeant Armen Hovhannisyan with the "For Courage" medal for bravery shown during the defense of the NKR state border. An investigation has been launched to reveal the details of the incident.
