On December 30, 2011 Armenian soldier Hayk Khachatryan was dead at
Armenian Army as a result of disease. Panorama.am asked the head of
the military-medical department of Armenian Armed Forces Colonel
Artashes Parsadanyan to answer some questions on the tragic accisdent.
Answering to the question which signs of illness the soldier had and
whether it was impossible to save the soldier's life, Mr. Parsadanyan
said: `It was discovered at the Yerevan Norq hospital that the soldier
was ill with chicken-pox and the illness was expressed by its terrible
type. The illness developed quickly. Nearly the whole organism was
damaged. Of course the necessary assistance was shown to the soldier
but this illness is unpredictable. On 2011 two other people also were
dead by the same illness in the same hospital and they were not
militants. I can say that very few people have been treated from this
illness and were able to overcome it.'
Panorama.am also asked to the military official whether an
investigation is held to find out the details of the death and the
medical assistance which was shown.
`After the soldier's death Armenian Minister of Defense ordered to
create a special independent commission led by professor Benik
Harutyunyan. Both militants and the medical professors are included in
the commission. I think the commission will manage to clear up the
details of the illness its development and its treatment. The
commission will conclude its work in some days and the results will be
announced', the military official said.
