Albert Agarunovich Agarunov (Azerbaijani: Albert Aqarunov) (25 April 1969 – 7 May 1992) was a Starshina of the Azerbaijani Army who died during the Nagorno-Karabakh War. He was among the last Azerbaijanis to defend Shusha, which was occupied by Armenian forces on May 9, 1992. Albert Agarunov was born in a Baku suburb to Mountain Jewish parents, Agarun, who was an oil-worker from Quba and Leah Agarunov. Albert was one of the family's ten children. During his school-years, Albert was interested in music, and he took trumpet lessons. After obtaining a degree in technology, later on, he started working at a machine-building factory, as a metal turner. His brother, Rantik Agarunov, stated that: "The only thing Albert did not like, was aggressive and abusive attitudes towards the vulnerable. In 1991, Albert Agarunov voluntarily enlisted in the Azerbaijani Army in the war against Armenia to defend the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Agarunov fought in a battalion, led by Elchin Mammadov to retake the town of Shusha from Armenian control. He became a tank commander in the defense of Shusha in May 1992, when the Armenians launched the successful assault to take this strategically important town. Agarunov was assigned tank No.533 and took part in the war with his famous tank engagement against a T-72, commanded by Gagik Avsharian, disabling the T-72 outside of the town of Shusha. On December 8, 1991, Agarunov along with the driver, Agababa Huseynov, managed to disable nine Armenian tanks and two armored trucks. During another skirmish, Agarunov managed to disable two tanks by a method called, the "Jewish sandwich" by his comrades. Armenians offered 5 million rublуs for his head. After his death, Azerbaijani soldiers started to name their tanks, "Albert." Albert Agarunov was posthumously awarded the title of National Hero of Azerbaijan and was buried at Martyrs' Lane in Baku in May 1992, attended by both Mullahs and Rabbis. The school in Baku, from which Albert graduated, was named after him. In 2017, a memorial plaque was opened in Albert Akarunov's house in Amirjan settlement of Surakhani district.
