When Azeri OMON troops surrounded the village and were carrying out investigation under the pretext of checking passports, Nano would go from house to house warning people to hide their guns.
She had also tamed her dog named Chalo to act as a communicator. The warriors would hang a note on the dog’s neck,while Nnao would send cigarettes or foods to the positions.
During the battle on January 26 1992, when Narine was helping to take children to a relatively safe place, the enemy sniper shot her dead.
Narine Arakelyan was posthumously awarded the “For Carriage” medal.
