Robert Abajyan, Armenian sergeant (b. 1996)
Robert Abajyan (Armenian: Ռոբերտ Աբաջյան; 16 November 1996 – 2 April 2016) was an Armenian junior sergeant in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Army. He was posthumously awarded the "Hero of Artsakh" which is the highest honorary title of semi-recognized NKR. Abajyan fought alone for several hours against special forces groups of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces during the Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes of 2016 in the northeast line of contact on the night of 1–2 April. He gestured as if to surrender, and then pulled out a grenade and blew up the approaching Azeri soldiers with himself.
