River Brings 2-Year-Old Child and Hits Trees: Young Man Risks His Life to Save the Child

An extraordinary incident occurred in the Lori region. At approximately 17:35, the Ministry of Emergency Situations received a call from the firefighting and rescue unit number 39 in Alaverdi, reporting that a citizen had alerted them about his 2-year-old daughter who had fallen into the Debed River.

According to shamshyan.com, around 30 firefighters immediately started rescue operations along with two teams from the second battalion of the Lori police patrol service, totaling six officers, who conducted search and rescue operations roughly 2 km along the river with the help of citizens.

As the reports indicate, while gathering broken branches of trees about 1.5 to 2 km away from the spot where the child had fallen, 32-year-old Zhivair Poghosyan, a resident of the Piruzyan neighborhood in Alaverdi, noticed that the river had brought the child close to some trees in the water.

Risking his life, Zhivair entered the river and managed to bring the child to the shore. He then transported the child to the 'Alaverdi' medical center with the help of a friend, where the local doctors performed miracles. The child is not in danger of life.

According to Shamshyan, the child resides in Alaverdi, and the child's mother was the one who reported her daughter's fall into the river to the local rescuers.
