September 13, 2022 redoubled the grief that was only relieved 2 years later. The Azerbaijani gang’s attacks were stopped at the cost of many heroes’ lives. One of these heroes was Aram, courageous, unbreakable, patriotic and determined. It was with this determination that he went forward to die for the good of the homeland, and died a hero.
