“WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE WEAK”



In the most critical moment of the Artsakh war Davit Baghdasaryan, like thousand of his peers, instead of school went to the trenches. After the cease-fire, process of forming the army received a new impetus. To fill the vacancies of officers, experienced Lieutenant General Kristapor Ivanyan chose the shortest and most effective way, organizing courses for officers who had combat experience and knowledge. Having completed successfully “School of Ivanyan”, they become valuable specialists because Ivanyan didn’t present anybody to get officer rank just for nothing.

Young officer Baghdasaryan got his first officer’s position in the third defense corps, then he was sent to study at the senior officers’ courses. After graduating, as a senior lecturer, he began to teach the secrets of using of combat artillery. But soon he returned to the army and was appointed unit’s chief of artillery. He was then transferred to an artillery military unit operating under the command of Colonel Gregory Sahakyan and was appointed chief of staff of the division.

Now Lt. Colonel Davit Baghdasaryan is division commander. Armed with various systems, this division for many years is the best in the mixed artillery military unit, and it is expected that at the end of the educational year, batteries will confirm their high combat skills:

– We have no right to be weak, Artsakh obliges us to work day and night. The war is not over, I prepare for war to give them good answer…
