He was called for military service by Sabunchu district Military Commissariat on the 29th of September, 1994. Eldar had his military training for a short time … and unfortunately he had to fight not against Armenian invaders but against the traitors of our country. On the 17th of March, 1995 Eldar Khalilov was among the soldiers of the National Army who fulfilled their duties by preventing coup d’état. He demonstrated a real example of courage and bravery in order to disarm the traitors of the country. It is very sad to admit that this rebellion was not without loses.
