YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Lecture-rooms named after two heroes of Artsakh liberation fight were opened simultaneously on November 16 at Yerevan State University. Two lecture-rooms of the economic faculty were named after perished freedom-fighters-students of the faculty, Vachagan Avakimov and Furman Gevorgian. "The number of hero-students of the University is 26. Now 10 lecture-rooms of our University have been named after them, and we will open another three by the end of the year. We, representatives of the University, are happy that once we had an honor to walk side-by-side with those heroes in these corridors," YSU Rector Aram Simonian said. According to the Rector, this ceremony is an occasion for the perished freedom-fighters' friends to tell their memories about them. Vasak Toroyan, a lecturer at the YSU Economic Faculty, shared his memories about his student, Vachagan Avakimov mentioning that "Vache never sat idly in the battlefield. When he came back from there, he wrote articles. He was very shy, when he came to the University he used to stand at the chair's door and waited for me to come out to see me. We had arranged that he was to continue his education in Leningrad, but he refused categorically saying that he will never leave Armenia." A lecture-room after RA national hero Tatul Krpeyan was also opened the same day at the University's history faculty, where his bust was placed at last. According to Vahe Sargsian, the Chairman of the ARFD Nikol Aghbalian student union, national hero Tatul Krpeyan's bust should have been unveiled properly. "However, the bust donated by us was put in the lecture-room as property, and today not its unveiling ceremony but the lecture-room's reopening is being held." According to him, in another respect it became a good occasion for repairing the lecture-room. A computer, a TV set, a video recorder was placed there, films were shown, meetings were held there formerly.
