Talk:Andranik Toros Ozanian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hey Eupator, I have several excellently pristine, authentic photographs of Andranik dating back to the early 1900s of Andranik and I'll try to find the best one to upload here.

- Thanks, I have a picture of his equestrian statue in Yerevan. I want the article to be expanded a little before I add it though. I also took a few pictures of Baghramyan's statue. I have very mixed feeling about him though. --Eupator 17:48, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Mixed feelings on how successful of a commander he was or mixed feelings about him per se? I always saw him as the amiable, little Armenian grandpa in his pictures.--MarshallBagramyan 22:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

- Mixed feelings whether he should be considered an Armenian hero. Baghramyan served the USSR not Armenia and I'm not sure but I think he was also fighting against Armenian forces for the Bolsheviks during the takeover of Armenia. Anyway, that's OT-reply in my talk.--Eupator 22:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

- I forgot to tell you this but my grandfather did see Andranik in Kars when the Russian army was mounting offensives from there. He recalled that he rode on a white horse and took off a cape which had several bullet holes in it, demonstrating the numerous amount of times he was shot at but never wounded. He also personally met Serob Pasha's wife, Sose, when she stayed at their house.--MarshallBagramyan 19:16, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
