Sanvel Papazyan and Armen Minasyan are friends of many years. Wherever
they are, they always spend May 9 together.
They friendship goes back to the battlefields of Karabakh, where they
where fighting side by side. Together they passed through the whole
war, together they enjoyed the liberation of Shushi in 1992.
"The operation was very important and hard. Our group went to it
knowing that no one of us would be back. We were aware that we were
going to die but we were doing it for fatherland", says Samvel
Papazyan.
"We all gathered on May 7 and went up to Qyosalar mountain. It was
late and we had gone deep into Azeri's rear, about 30 km. It was the
most difficult fight", Armen Minasyan adds.
The group of Armenian fighters which consisted of 85 men was
surrounded during the fight.
"They were about ten times as many as us, we fought for 6-7 hours but
could break out of encirclement", Papazyan tells.
Both friends were wounded. Today each of them remembers not his, but
friend's wounds.
"We were taken to Yerevan on May 8. Samvel was seriously wounded and
was taken to 8th hospital", Armen Minasyan recalls.
"The tank shell hit straight on the place where Armen was. He was
thrown wawy for 5-6 meters with a truckload of ground", Samvel
Papazyan says.
After recovering they were quick to meet again, congratulate each
other on the occasion of Shushi liberation and return back to
battlefield.
"I knew, I felt that Shushi would be liberated by all means", Sanvel
Papazyan says.
