YEREVAN. Jan 16
Six-month-old Sergei Avetisian, who was injured by the Russian
military serviceman Valery Permyakov in Gyumri, has undergone a
successful neurosurgical operation in Yerevan, the Armenian Health
Ministry said.
"The operation was a success. The child remains stable but critical,"
a ministry spokesperson told Interfax.
Earlier on Friday Armenian specialists held extensive telephone
consultations with specialists from clinics in Cleveland, Israel,
Fribourg, Moscow and St. Petersburg, the spokesperson said.
"It was decided to conduct a neurosurgical operation to prevent the
threat of further profound disability," the spokesperson said.
The operation was conducted jointly with specialists from Armenia by
William Khachatryan, Director of the Children's Clinic at the Polenov
Research Institute of Neurosurgery in St. Petersburg, the spokesperson
said.
The child suffered multiple penetrating stab injuries, some of them in
the abdomen, Armenian Health Minister Armen Muradian said earlier. The
first surgery was conducted on January 12.
On January 12 six members of one family, including a two-year-old
child, were killed in the city of Gyumri in northern Armenia. The
six-month Seryozha Avetisian survived the stab injuries and was
hospitalized in a critical condition.
Permyakov, a soldier from the Russian military base N102 in Gyumri,
was arrested shortly afterwards and is currently being held at his
base. On January 14 he was formally charged both in Russia and
Armenia.
