Vardui Elbakyan, advocate of oppositional activist Tigran Arakelyan,
18, who is in custody, told journalists about extremely grave health
condition of her client. According to her story, after examination by
ophthalmologist a serious injury of his eye was revealed. The defender
is sure that it was a result of the blow inflicted by a policeman on
the young man with the pistol handle.

Ms Elbakyan said that a number of examinations of Tigran Arakelyan
were made at the prison hospital, where he was placed after his
complaints on poor vision and dizziness.

"Now we possess the final conclusion issued by the chief
ophthalmologist of the Ministry of Public Health Professor Alexander
Malyan running that T. Arakelyan suffers from subatrophy of the optic
nerve of his left eye; the field of vision of this eye got narrowed
by 50 degrees. The custody conditions in the isolation facility can
bring Tigran Arakelyan to blindness, and he should be immediately
taken to a civil hospital," the advocate has noted.

She told about her plans to appeal against Arakelyan’s arrest,
decided by the general court of communities Centre and Nork-Marash,
at the Appeal Court, trying to bail Tigran out.

Armen Khachatryan from the legal support service of the Armenian
National Congress (ANC) has added that in the next few days the ANC
will send a preliminary letter from Tigran Arakelyan to the European
Court.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
