Gurgen Dalibaltayan (Armenian: ??????? ????????????; 5 June 1926 – 1 September 2015) was an Armenian military commander.
He was the Chief of General Staff of Armenian Armed Forces during the 1992 Battle of Shusha, a battle to capture the city from Azerbaijan.
He is credited with devising a strategy to assault the strongly fortified town of Shusha using diversionary attacks against adjacent villages to draw out the defenders of the town while the commander of troops, Arkady Ter-Tatevosyan, encircled the town and cut off reinforcements.
His strategy is generally considered impossible, or at least implausible, as he was originally outnumbered.
General military tactics suggest a force of three times the defender's size to successfully storm and win.
