    Today comrade-in-arms of Hero of Karabakh war, 1st degree Battle Cross
    Medal awarded Leonid Azgaldyan, met with journalists on Leonid's 67th
    birth anniversary.

    `Leonid was very talented. Still at soviet times he greatly
    contributed to science,' told Gagik Ginosyan, Karin Ensemble's
    director. As a physicist Leonid Azgaldyan alongside with his friends
    Alexander Tamanyan and Karen Grigoryan worked up on weapons at early
    wartime.

    `Leonid was one of the first personalities who paid attention to
    strategy of close-based military defense,' told Colonel Hamik
    Sayadyan. Being not professional educated man of arms Leonid was as
    good in military as military specialists are.

    Leonid Azgaldyan was a good tutor; he trained combat-ready soldiers
    who were named `Leonid's guys'.

    Once on meeting with foreign journalist, when asked what `political
    color' Leonid belongs to, he scooped up a soil and said: `I am
    soil-colored'.


    Karabakh war hero Leonid Azgaldyan died on June 21 1992. Through his
    comrade-in-arms' efforts a bust in memory of Leonid Azgaldyan is set
    up at Mashtots-Khorenatsi crossway in Armenian capital city of
