As with the previous case, an ongoing investigation aims to shed light on the circumstances surrounding this heartbreaking loss.
The Ministry of Defense has conveyed heartfelt condolences and unwavering support to the families, relatives, and comrades of the fallen servicemen during this difficult time.
These distressing events have prompted heightened scrutiny and urgency to determine the causes of these tragic losses within the Armenian military. The investigations continue as the nation mourns the untimely deaths of these dedicated servicemen.
