Kolya Nasibyan

Nikolai Nasibyan was born on April 19th, 1920 in Kokhb into the family of a rural carpenter. He studied at Kokhb School No. 1 for 8 years and then 2 years in Tbilisi. After leaving the school in 1937, he studied at Yerevan State Medical Institute. When World War II started, Nasibyan received his diploma ahead of schedule and was sent to the frontline. During the war, he was granted the Red Star Medal for the capture of Qennigsberg and Berlin and for the emancipation of Czechoslovakia. He was also granted Honor of Public Health Service of the USSR. Doctor Nikolay Nasibyan was in Prague when the war ended in 1945 and subsequently returned to his native village after the war. He practiced medicine in the region and advocated sanitary practices. Under his initiative the Tsak-Qar-Gung water pipe was constructed, as well as other municipal improvement works. Doctor Nasibyan created a collective-farm sanatorium and, together with academic A. B. Aleksanyan, built a new rural hospital. After 10 years of working in Kokhb, Nasibyan gained the title of Rural Doctor, the goodwill, and respect of the people not only in the Noemberyan area, but also far outside of the Republic.

Nikolai Nasibyan’s love and fidelity to his profession was partly the reason of his tragic and sudden death. Successfully having prepared a candidate minimum, the doctor readied himself for the defense of his thesis, but before the day of defense he became ill. There was a knock at midnight at his house door several days later from villager from a distant village, Barekamavan (Dostylu), and he was asked to assist with the birth of a child. The night was rainy and when hurrying to reach the woman, the horse stumbled and fall together with the doctor. Despite sever injuries, Doctor Nasibyan reached the woman and assisted with the childbirth. On April 8th, 1955, the doctor died. He was only 35 years old.

He left a cherished memory in human hearts about himself. People from all republics of Soviet Union came for his funeral. People in the village constructed a bridge over the river Kokhb within a night, and the coffin was carried over the village roads. He was buried not far from his house on Gung Hill. Over the grave the doctor a pedestal was constructed and inscribed with the following words: People! Love and respect this noble person, because he reverenced people.

After the death of the doctor, the Kokhb hospital was named after him. Later on, in 1973, the Noyemberyan central Regional Hospital was renamed after Doctor Nikolay Nasibyan. In the court yard of the hospital, there is monument to Doctor Nasibyan constructed by world famous sculptor Fred Sogonyan and co-artists. In the 60s, a 20^th century film “There Lived a Man” was made in his honor by Armenfilm starring Armen Djigarkhanyan. There are books about Doctor Nikolay Nasibyan by Vardges Petrosyan, Gevorg Emin, Zori Balajan, Sohomon Garbuzov, and Rafaell Parsadanjan.

Doctor Nikolay Nasibyan’s name will always be bright in memory of the people of Koghb.
