The leading news agencies of the world still speak about unprecedented
brutal terrorist act in Beslan, Northern Ossetia. More than 300
innocent people were killed in Beslan.
There were 33 Armenians among Beslan hostages. Nine of them, including
children, were killed.
At present, many of the former hostages undergo medical treatment in
various cities of Russia. Mickael Mkrtchian, pupil at Beslan school
N1, and Tamar Galstian, his grandmother, undergo medical treatment in
Moscow, at Children’s Hospital after Morozov.
The four members of the Mkrtchian’s family were among the participants
of September 1-th ceremony. Unfortunately, the mother and the small
sister of Mickael were killed as a result of the terrorist act.
When Mickael was transferred to the Moscow hospital, he was in quite
hard state, but after the operation, according to the physicians, the
health of the boy improved. We were informed that by the suggestion of
German physicians, Michael will undergo medical treatment in
Germany. From the very first day,when Michael and his grandmother were
moved to Moscow, they were in the center of the attention of the
representatives of Union of the Armenians in Russia. Several times a
week, the members of the union visit the Mkrtchians. According to Ara
Abrahamian, Chairman of the World Armenian Congress, they have already
accumulated half a million rubles for the fond of the Victims of
Beslan Terrorist Act.
