The guests of the summer school included Arkady Petrosyan, Head of the Department of Military-Sports and Extracurricular Education of the Ministry of Education and Science, members of the department, representatives of the Union of Freedom Fighters, and participants of the April military operations.

Harutyun Kirakosyan, a member of the Union of Freedom Fighters, a veteran of the Artsakh Liberation War, a recipient of the “For the Liberation of Shushi” and “Mkhitar Heratsi” medals, and a major of the medical service, told the teenagers about the heroic episodes of the liberation of Shushi. He also spoke with admiration about the exploits of our contemporary heroes aged 18 to 20, expressing his conviction that thanks to dedicated young people, the homeland is now in safe hands.

Edgar Mkrtchyan, a graduate of Gyumri State Vocational School No. 4, a participant in the April War, a sergeant and recipient of the “Vazgen Sargsyan” medal, modestly refrained from speaking about his own heroic deeds and instead shared his combat experience and military knowledge with the future soldiers.

The campers presented the guests with an artistic program entitled “The Homeland Is Strong Through Its Devoted Sons”, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Armenian Army and enriched with national songs and dances that they had learned together over the course of several days.

At the end of the day, which was filled with patriotic spirit, Major Kirakosyan and Lieutenant Gevorgyan, a recipient of the “Drastamat Kanayan” medal, noted that as long as such centers continue to operate and initiatives aimed at fostering the military-patriotic education of teenagers are carried out, the older generation can confidently entrust the defense of the country to the younger generation.
