We had no idea that 2025 would be fatal for all of us.
Marine Grigoryan, the daughter of the killed Parakar community head Volodya Grigoryan, wrote this message on her social media page.
"Last year on this day, when we were welcoming the year 2025, we had so many hopes and expectations.
According to our family's tradition, we gathered at my Grandpa and Grandma's house, we were all present and impatiently looked at the clock, waiting for the 24th to become the 25th. And we had no idea that that year would be fatal for all of us. I can't express my thoughts because the tears are choking my throat. All I can say is, Dad, as much as I hate 2025, I still love it like crazy because the last memories of our lives together were here.
I want to express my biggest thanks to you, Dad! You have done everything to make us happy, healthy and secure. Thank you, thank you very much for all the life advice you have given.
Thank you for leaving us the love and respect of your nation, everything you gave and received in return. And we will always do everything to keep your name high, to finish what you left unfinished. Let 2026 be the beginning of it all, Dad. I miss you so much and need you every second. I know you see and hear everything. Thank you so much for everything "Dear Dad," he wrote.
