President of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Bako Sahakyan has signed a decree to award posthumously a Medal for Service in Battle to NKR soldier Erik Grigoryan for his bravery shown while defending the state border. Erik Grigoryan was killed early on Friday in a skirmish following an attempt by an Azerbaijani sabotage-reconnaissance group to infiltrate into the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The incident happened in the northeastern direction (Talish) of the Line of Contact separating the Karabakh-Azerbaijani troops.
