Armenia's Cabinet told Interfax on Thursday that it had decided to
provide 20.5 million drams ($50,000) next month to enable Paruir
Airikian, a former candidate for president who was badly injured in
an assassination attempt two months ago, to recent treatment abroad.
Airikian had surgery after being wounded in the shoulder in a nighttime

Vardan Sedrakian, one of Airikian's rivals in the presidential
election, has been put under two months' arrest on suspicion of
