The Insurance Foundation for Servicemen has prepared a material about Tigran Harutyunyan, a participant in the 44-day Artsakh war.
“Tigran Harutyunyan was an artist with all his features․ His handsome appearance, attractiveness, and artistry left him with no choice but to go the stage and the screen.
Friends often called Tigran a young DiCaprio.
After studying at a dance college and dancing in various groups for many years, Tigran chose Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinematography. While studying, he danced in the “Amaras” ensemble, managed to go abroad with them to concerts, particularly in Paris and Moscow.
Tigran had no acting education, but due to his innate talent, he received many offers to appear in the videos of Armenian show business representatives. He played in “Outdance” sitcom and danced in Hakob Paronyan Theater.
“Tigran was admitted for free by one point and left for service later than his peers.
“At that time we were happy that he would finish his studies, he would just go to serve, but what did we know, what is expected to happen?” Tigran’s mother, Liana says.
Tigran worked from the age of 14 and before the service he had work experience in many different fields. He said I should have everything.
According to friends, it was impossible to be sad and bored with Tigran. In any case, he was positive and optimistic. He was a fan of extreme and even bought a motorcycle. He could be found flying from any height.
Tigran served in Hadrut and was there during the war. His comrades-in-arms say that he was a strong soldier, strong-willed and ready to help his friends. That’s how he became a hero in 2020 while saving his friend on 10 October, 2020.
Tigran and his mother were connected with the strongest threads, always together, building common dreams and goals ․ “I have always thought that if something happens to Tigran, I will not live. But now I continue my life with the power of Tigran. He said there should be no tears in your eyes, mom. And now I continue to live with my head held high, strong for the sake of Tigran, I did not do anything wrong because he was not like that either.”
