Kyaram or Qyaram Sloyan (Template:Lang-hy; 27 April 1996 – 1/2 April 2016) was a Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army soldier who was killed during the 2016 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes and beheaded by soldiers of Azerbaijani Armed Forces, with videos and pictures of his severed head posted on social networks.

Biography

Kyaram Sloyan was born in Artashavan, a village in the Aragatsotn Province of the Republic of Armenia on 27 April 1996 to a poor Yazidi family. His father, Kyalash, is a Nagorno-Karabakh War veteran. Sloyan was drafted to the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army along with 100 other Armenian Yazidis at the age of 18.

Sloyan was one of the first victims of the April War during the last quarter of his military service. He was to be demobilised in about two months.

Death and beheading

Azerbaijani military started attacking Armenian military positions on April 1 and 2 which resulted in casualties on both sides. Sloyan was one of the casualties. During the attack, his unit commander Armenak Urfayan ordered the men of his unit to withdraw upon seeing the numerical superiority of the Azerbaijani forces. Sloyan however refused and both of them were killed by Azerbaijani soldiers. His body was then tortured and beheaded. Images of Azerbiajani soldiers holding his severed head were posted to VKontakte. Soon after this, videos of Azerbaijainis holding his head were released on various websites. Azerbaijani sources rejected the allegations of beheading as false. The Sunday Times called them "shocking souvenir photos of uniformed Azerbaijani soldiers posing with the severed head". In their the public report of the Human Right's defender (ombudsman) of NKR, the beheading Kyaram Sloyan by the Azerbaijani troops "constitutes grave breach of customary international law".

On May 3 Azerbaijani Defense Ministry denied this information and reported that all the bodies of the Armenian soldiers were handed over in the presence of international observers, and no traces of violence were detected on the bodies.

Burial

RFE/RL Armenia reported that Sloyan's body was buried without its head on April 5, 2016, in his native village of Artashavan. On April 8, through the mediation of the Red Cross, the Azerbaijani side returned his head. Sloyan was interred for a second time the following day, to lay his head with his body. He was awarded by the "For Service in Battle" medal posthumously.

Aftermath

In April 2016 Armenia’s Permanent Representative to the OSCE, Ambassador Arman Kirakosyan made a statement regarding Azerbaijan’s violations of international humanitarian law at the session of OSCE Permanent Council. He pointed out that 3 servicemen including Kyaram Aloyan were decapitated by Azerbaijani soldiers in a manner characteristic for Daesh/ISIS.

A class at the school of Artashavan village is named after Sloyan.

According to the Regnum News Agency, during his visit to Terter, Agdam and Barda districts, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev awarded the Azerbaijani soldier, who likely posed with the severed head of Kyaram Sloyan.
