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.
