    Soldier wounded during March unrest in Yerevan dies

    YEREVAN April 12


    Tigran Abgarian, a 19-year-old Armenian soldier, who was badly
    injured during the March 1-2 public unrest in Yerevan, has died in
    hospital, an Armenian police source told Interfax on Saturday.

    Abgarian was taken to intensive care of the Mikaelian Surgery
    Institute with a gunshot wound and comminuted fractures. During
    surgery, it turned out that the man's spinal marrow was also
    affected. Doctors have been struggling for the soldier's life since
    March 2.

    Thus, the death toll from the March 1-2 unrest in Yerevan has reached
    9.

    It was reported earlier that supporters of former presidential
    candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian held unsanctioned rallies in Yerevan on
    March 1-2, which turned into clashes with law enforcement agencies.
    More than 200 people were injured in the clashes.

    Four of these people are still in Yerevan hospitals, although their
    lives are out of danger.
