    WOUNDED DEMINDERS DETERMINED TO CONTINUE SERVICE

    21:45 * 10.09.14

    The servicemen who were injured by a mine explosion in an area under
    control of an Armenian military unit on August 28 and are now receiving
    treatment in hospital are ready to return to their posts as soon as
    they recover.

    A Tert.am correspondent visited the servicemen at hospital and talked
    to Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Lernik Babayan, who lost part of
    his leg as a result of the explosion.

    "I am on a holiday now. I am leaving the hospital on Friday to re-join
    my friends. I have ordered a crutch, but before it is made I will dress
    my leg and go to the guys. I am a healthy man, and I'll recover soon,"
    says Lernik Babayan.

    Even in hospital he thinks of his soldiers, and soldiers are thinking
    of him.

    "They are calling me, and I say to them 'guys, I am coming to you in
    a month. I have no right to stop serving in the most amazing place."

    As to how he plans to continue his service with health problems,
    the commander says:

    "Very well. I cannot live without my service. No problem, I will get
    an ammunition leg. And we will serve with even greater zeal."

    According to him, the enemy must not be underestimated.

    "True, we have a regular army, but they have efficient servicemen as
    well. I wish our army peaceful service, but God forbid that clouds
    gather over our borders, let them disperse over Baku."

    Major Hrachik Grigoryan, who visited Lernik Babayan in hospital said:

    "His soldiers will never leave if their commander lies wounded. I
    can say with confidence that he has been protecting Armenia's most
    unapproachable border for 12 years. I am proud of my commander because
    he is ready to go to the border even in this state of health."

    Driver Andranik Babayan, who lost one of his feet, says he must return
    to his post.

    "We are not ill, are we? Just a piece of my leg is torn off. And I
    am going to serve even better than I have been serving for the enemy
    too feel it. My family is living down the road from the posts. I have
    always loved my service and I am going to serve well so that no one
    says I am a wounded guy."

    Vahagn Sargsyan, whose foot was damaged by the explosion, has been
    serving in the military unit for two years.

    "Even if I had lost my leg from the knee down, I am ready to continue
    serving. We are waiting until we recover and continue our service.

    Four of us were wounded. When the first was wounded, the other realized
    the same could happen to them. But they went to help. We all thought
    of helping each other. Our people's consideration is very important. We
    need nothing but when someone comes in and greets us."
