Kristapor Ivanyan Military College (Armenian: Քրիստափոր Իվանյանի ռազմական քոլեջ), was a college and military educational institution based in Stepanakert and operated by the Artsakh Defense Army.
It is named after Lieutenant General Kristapor Ivanyan, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War (1941–45) and the first Karabakh War, as well a key figure in the Military history of the Republic of Artsakh.[1] The college is the equivalent to the Moscow Suvorov Military School in Russia, and the Monte Melkonian Military College in Armenia.[2] In 2007, a contingent from the college became a permanent participant in the Shushi Liberation Day military parade on Renaissance Square.[3] Notable visitors have included President of the National Assembly of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan.[4]
