Menua Hovhannisyan (Armenian: Մենուա Հովհաննիսյան; 22 December 1985 – 5 October 2020) was an Armenian serviceman and intelligence officer[1] in the Artsakh Defense Army, participant of the Four-Day War and Second Nagorno-Karabakh war. In 2020 he was posthumously awarded the Hero of Artsakh military award, which is the highest honorary title of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh.[2]

During the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, he carried out a special operation, as a result of which he brought 18-20 year old guys out of the blockade in Madagiz, "not allowing anyone to lose a single hair on their heads".[3]
