Ararat Tevosyan had returned from the Russian Federation to participate in the war unleashed by the enemy on September 27, 2020. After the war, he remained in Artsakh and continued to serve in the Defense Army.

Ararat fell on March 25, 2022, in Parukh, as a result of the enemy’s latest aggression.

Ararat was the third child in the family. Within the framework of Iravaban.net‘s “Immortal Victims of the Artsakh War” series, his mother says that Ararat was very different from other children.

“My husband used to say, ‘Oh, Zarik, do you know what kind of boy this is going to become, he’s going to be an athlete,’ and indeed that’s exactly what happened. He was 1.5 years old when the war of the 90s began. We had left Artsakh, then when we learned that our village had been retaken, we went back again. The house wasn’t there, it had burned down. We took him with us, we were rebuilding the house. He grew up on a bed in the yard, there was no electricity either, we put a lamp so that snakes wouldn’t come near. He was a different kind of child,” the mother recounts.

In the Russian Federation, Ararat had achieved great success in mixed martial arts (MMA). He had numerous medals and victories, but all of that no longer interested him – he had to liberate his birthplace, Hadrut. He didn’t listen to his parents and became a soldier.
