Margaryan was one of those who rushed to help the soldiers. On the same day, he was killed by a drone strike.[4]
My homage to the bright memory of all our heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Motherland. The message left to us by Alen and his martyred friends is to do the maximum to strengthen our Homeland.. And his heroic deeds on the battlefield and his conscious decision to keep his homeland at the cost of his life can only be considered an exceptional manifestation of patriotism.
