Tsolak Mnatsakanian is 13 years old. Most probably he will not go
to school this September as he is lying with a serious disease at
Roentgenology Center in Moscow.

Tsolak is waiting for a malignant growth on his brain to be radiated
with an equipment that Armenia does not have. Doctors claim that the
equipment is safe, and the boy will be totally healthy soon. Yet,
the assuring seems to be a dream as due to unsatisfactory provision
of cerebrospinal fluid his physical state worsened. Tsolak is being
fed through a probe, he is unable to walk and talk. Furthermore, the
boy suffers from a diabetic disease and eyesight problems resultant
of chemical therapy carried out earlier.

To save the boy’s life his parents gathered money from their relatives
and took him to Moscow. The donated sum has already run out and the
life-saving radiation costs 150.000 rubles. Thank to donations 50.000
has been gathered but the greatest part is still lacking.

Russian online editions show interest in Tsolak’s fate and carry out
donation through their sites. Daily Azg joins them urging readers to
contact the boy’s parents through www. rian.ru or by calling 981-6573,
981, 6611.
