    Armenian freedom fighter sees New Year in at home

    Haik Mailyan, a freedom fighter and member of the Special Regiment,
    has seen the New Year in with his family this time.

    Since the war in Nagorno-Karabakh ended, he has been serving in
    Kalbajar, where he has seen several New Years in.

    `This is the first time I have seen the New Year in at home during my
    service,' Haik told Tert.am.

    After serving in the Soviet army, 20-year-old Haik returned to Armenia
    1989 and immediately left for Yeraskh. He fought in Kalbajar, Omar,
    Karachinar, Shahumyan, Lachin, Kovsakan and Kubatlu.

    He is a contract serviceman now.

    The freedom fighter's family is living in Yerevan, in a flat presented
    by Vazgen Sargsyan (Armenia's premier killed on October 27, 1999).

    `In some cases, my wife and children visited me and we saw the New
    Year in together,' Haik says.

    He wishes all Armenians, especially Armenia's armed forces, peace and
    stability. `Let no Armenian youth see what we had to see when we were
    young,' Haik says.
