A legendary scout has passed away, a true patriot of her country, a bright and extraordinary personality. She attended many brilliant operations featuring in the history of intelligence. She was a human and a woman of great soul, who together with her husband Gevorg Andreevich devoted her life to Homeland’s service and defense.
The Gevorgyan family always kept in close touch with Armenia, helping us to establish and strengthen our statehood.
