Although Taron Givargizyan was released from military service, when he learned about the war, he left voluntarily on the second day to participate in the defense of the homeland.
“He had formed a detachment, but we did not know that. At 1 o’clock at night he called his sister and told her to take good care of father and mother, I am already in Karabakh,” Taron Givargizyan’s mother Laura Sargsyan says.
Taron fought in Martuni, the father learned out about it later from his son’s friends.
“I was saying, dear Taron, I have no strength to wait, will you come for at least 2 days and then leave? He said mom there is nobody to replace me, but it is not the case that I want to come, what about those children?” I said, “Dear Taron, you are my child too.” He said, “Mom, there are many children here who need us,” Taron’s mother recalls.
Taron Givargizyan was a scribe in the church. “You have to be a very keen person to be able not only to read, but also to understand, for example, Grigor Narekatsi’s “Matyan Voghbergutyan ,” Taron’s teacher, Armine Khachatryan says.
