“As much as we knew that the day would come when the war would start, but we did not expect it to happen at that very moment,” recalls Arman Gasparyan, who left for the Artsakh war as a volunteer.
He mentions that he left after the Prime Minister’s call, he was among those who demobilized a year before.
“I had served in Hadrut, and when I left, I went for Hadrut, because Hadrut was my second home, but I could not go, but -,” Arman says. He was in Kubatul, Jabrail, and in Syunik when he went for the second time.
“It seems to me that this was the greatest war for humanity of the 21st century, because in no war so much advanced equipment, chemical weapons, prohibited weapons, drones have been used. This was really a war of intelligence, innovation, good specialists and good equipment, more than the war of the 90s or April War,” Arman says.
According to him, he did not know almost anyone on the battlefield, but now he is trying to keep in touch with everyone.
After the war, Arman Gasparyan became more serious. “My motto has always been to live every day as if it were going to be my last day. I managed to do everything. There, every day becomes every second, because you can die at any moment, become disabled or something bad happens to you and you start to appreciate everything in that moment, you do not orient yourself to hug your friend, call home, say everything is normal, to position yourself, to weaken yourself so that you do not go crazy, and all that is mixed up,” Arman says, recalling the moments of the war.
