Armen Knazyan, who returned to Artsakh from Spain soon after Azerbaijan launched military operations against Artsakh on September 27, 2020, has been posthumously awarded the Gold Eagle medal for his “outstanding services to the homeland” by Artsakh president Arayik Harutyunyan.

Knazyan also fought in the April 2016 Four Day War.
