Arsen Nazaryan from Artsakh winner of Hot Heart prize 

ArmInfo. 13-year-old Aren Nazaryan from Artsakh will be awarded the international "Hot Heart" prize in Moscow, established by the All-Russian public-state  initiative.

As reported by the Union of Armenians of Russia, in 2023, during the  forced deportation of Armenians from Artsakh, when Armenians fled  under the threat of physical extermination, leaving their homes and  graves, Aren spent 40 hours behind the wheel of a car, overcoming  multi-kilometer traffic jams to take his grandparents out of Artsakh.

This story shocked everyone so much that it was decided to award Aren  the international "Concord" prize, established by the Union of  Armenians of Russia.

In December 2023, Aren and his mother came to Moscow, and he was  awarded this prize in the "Hero of the People" nomination. The "Hot  Heart" prize, which Aren will receive this time, is awarded to  children and young people under 23 who have shown heroism in crisis  situations, helped those in need, or provided selfless support
