Mother of Robert Abajyan passes away

ArmInfo. Anna Abajyan, the mother of Robert Abajyan, a hero of the 2016 four-day April war and junior sergeant of the NKR Defense Army, has passed away at the age of 52.

According to media reports, she had recently been experiencing health  problems. Anna Abajyan died 10 years after the loss of her son.

As a reminder, Robert Abajyan was posthumously awarded the title  "Hero of Artsakh" for his courage during the four-day war in April  2016. The 19-year-old serviceman, wounded, fought alone against  Azerbaijani troops, blowing himself and the approaching enemy up with  a grenade. On January 28, 2026, the unveiling ceremony of a monument  to Robert Abajyan took place at Yerevan Public School No. 147.

The April 2016 War was marked by war crimes, gross violations of the  laws and customs of war, and international humanitarian law. The  April 2016 military actions were considered the largest since the May  1994 ceasefire agreement in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.  During the fighting from April 2 to 5, all Armenian military units,  including artillery, tank crews, and anti-tank units, performed with  distinction.
