I became familiar with Ahmad Torkan when we were at the primary training artillery in Isfahan in 1978. He was the military tactic professor. When he was selected as the commander of the 28 battalion, I was beside him at the "5th bait al moghadas" operation, Mahmoud Salari said.

Torkan was an experienced, placid and well – behaved commander. After his retirement, he visited the retirement club in Isfahan and searched for his friends issues, Mahmoud Salari added.

Amir Torkan was a great man who had left us. During the sacred defense he usually was worried about the country and the army forces. He was the hero of the army.
