Monte: Armenian people's Holy Martyr
Artsakh fight hero Monte Melkonian's 17th death anniversary will be
marked on June 12. Special activities division diversion intelligence
group Commander Vova Vardanov and Monte Melkonian Fund Head Alek
Yenigomshyan shared their memories of Monte.
V. Vardanov telling about his acquaintance with Monte mentioned that
Monte had the kindest character traits: `I got acquainted with a
Diasporan Armenian boy whose name was Monte. However, he introduced
himself as Avo. I was categorically against involving a Diasporan
Armenian in the division but speaking to him I understood that he was
Armenian even more than many.'
Former member of ASALA, Monte's friend and Monte Melkonian Fund Head
Alek Yenigomshyan said: `Monte is Armenian people's Holy Martyr. He
was an ideological and moral figure.' According to Yenigomshyan, Monte
was a pure person who never used his status of commander for his
personal interests.
`The current political and other spheres commanders need to learn much
from Monte Melkonian's traits. Monte had an unspeakable willpower, the
word `desperation' did not exist for him, even at the hardest moments
he was full of belief and was able to gain great victories with his
victory will,' A. Yenigomshyan stressed.
