YEREVAN. – Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Army serviceman Gor Darmanyan will be transferred to Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan in several days.  

The director of the Armenian Ministry of Defense Central Clinical Military Hospital in Yerevan, Aram Asaturyan, told about the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

To note, Darmanyan was wounded on March 19 while defending against an Azerbaijani military infiltration attempt, and he is currently being treated in the Central Military Hospital of the NKR capital city of Stepanakert.

“Gor’s [health] condition is still distressing, but there is a positive trend; he is still in the intensive care unit,” Asaturyan said.

To note, Gor Darmanyan’s leg was amputated

The military hospital director also informed that even though the other two wounded soldiers—Edgar Martirosyan and Sargis Gabrielyan, who already were transferred to Yerevan—are in satisfactory condition, it is still too early to speak about discharging them from the hospital.

As reported earlier, an enhanced team from Azerbaijan’s special military detachment launched an attack, on March 19 at around 8:30am, on the NKR Defense Army positions stationed in a northerly (Gyulistan) direction. 

As a result of the skirmish that lasted about two hours, however, the Armenian military position holders and the relief forces compelled the adversary to flee. Subsequently, they pursued the said Azerbaijani military team and completely crushed them nearby their own military position.            

Unfortunately, NKR Defense Army servicemen Hakob Khachatryan (born in 1996), Eduard Hayrapetyan (born in 1995), and Arshak Harutyunyan (born in 1995) died, and four others were wounded while confronting the adversary. One of the wounded soldiers, Samvel Hakobyan (born in 1995), died in hospital on March 26.
