In recognition of Professor Eduard Yeghiazaryan's prolific academic and pedagogical career, his years of dedicated service, and his substantial contribution to the advancement of science, the YSU rector presented him with the university's highest honor—the YSU Gold Medal.

He emphasized the profound impact of the scholar-educator's scientific and pedagogical contributions, achieved through more than half a century of prolific work.

Professor Yeghiazaryan expressed his gratitude to Rector Hovhannes Hovhannisyan for the recognition and for valuing his many years of service.

The distinguished scholar is the author of 12 academic textbooks and continues to play an active role in educating and mentoring new generations, as well as in advancing and strengthening the university's academic and research environment.

The ceremonial presentation of the Gold Medal was also attended by YSU Academic Secretary Meri Hovhannisyan; Head of the Chair of Zoology, Astghik Ghazaryan; and Associate Professor of the Chair of Human and Animal Morphology and Physiology, Anahit Arakelyan.
