"This is Armenia and that is it."

Today is the birthday of Leonid Azgaldyan, a hero of the Artsakh war, a brilliant command officer, warrior, strategist, physicist and intellectual, the author of this famous phrase.

He called his small troops an army. Under his leadership, 27 villages were liberated and many successful battles were fought without a single defeat. He died in 1992, without receiving a military rank.
