“He used to say, ‘Mom, I will go to the army, I will come and you will not work, you will definitely quit your job.’ He made a broken heart, gave it to me and left, but never returned,” Piruza Yenokyan, the mother of Alexander Karapetyan, who died in the Artsakh war said.

The sister, Julieta Karapetyan, says that her brother was very close to her, and shared all his plans. “He said I would come, work, get a job, open a pharmacy for you,” the sister said.

Alexan was drafted into the army on 10 July, 2020.

“He was in quarantine for 2 months, they were released from quarantine and immediately taken to the front line, to captured Hadrut. The command staff sent the children there, no one greeted them, they crossed the area and immediately became the victims of the enemy – 73 people. The children sat in the car singing; they were told that they were being taken to a safe place,” the mother said.

Alexander Karapetyan was born on 26 May, 2002. He died in the battles for the defense of the homeland on 11 October, 2020.
