The conscript serviceman who died the previous day was a student at the Faculty of Journalism of the Russian-Armenian University (RAU). This was reported on social media by Marina Alekyan, Head of the Department of Journalism at RAU.

She noted, in particular:

"With deep pain and sorrow, we report that a serviceman of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia and RAU student, Narek Torosyan, has prematurely passed away. In connection with this heavy loss, the university's leadership, faculty, staff, and student community express their deepest condolences to Narek's family, relatives, friends, and everyone who knew and loved him.

Every memory of Narek becomes even more precious today. His character, modesty, and kindness will remain in the memory of those who knew him as the image of a bright and good young man. Our university family shares in this inexpressibly heavy grief and supports Narek's relatives, wishing them strength and fortitude to endure the pain of this irreplaceable loss.

Rest in peace, dear Narek. May your memory be bright, and may your soul be among the light."

As a reminder, the previous day the Investigative Committee of Armenia reported the death of the serviceman without specifying under which article the criminal case had been initiated, and the Ministry of Defense has not yet provided any information on the matter.
