A function dedicated to the 20th death anniversary of Artsakh war hero Shahen Meghryan was held in Philharmonic Small Hall after Arno Babajanyan.

Meghryan was partisan detachment’s commander of Shahumyan, Martakert detachments’ general commander, member of NKR Supreme Soviet.

On April 17, 1993 the helicopter at Gyulistan was shot at, and Shahen Meghryan, helicopter commander Jambulat Muradyan, 2nd pilot Aram Grigoryan, flight mechanic Hovsep Mikaelyan, volunteers Hayk Meghryan, Arsen Bazyan, Poghos Simonyan, Rafael Badalyan, Sedrak Sedrakyan, Grigor Grigoryan and doctor Artak Khachatryan died.
Final freedom of Shahumyan was more or less real, and Shahen Meghryan was harrying to Armenia to get ammunition.
