President Armen Sarkissian has formalized a recommendation by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on awarding a posthumous Medal of Combat Service to Senior Sergeant Mushegh Abovyan.
Abovyan was on-duty when he was shot dead by Azerbaijani cross-border gunfire on October 3 in Tavush province, Armenia.
He was awarded for “selflessness in the line of duty”.
