YEREVAN (AA) – Turkish Justice and Development Party (AKP) deputy from
Balikesir Dr. Turhan Comez has participated in a kidney surgery of
a 75 year old Armenian woman at the Saint Nerses Hospital in Yerevan
today (Saturday).
Continuing his tour of Yerevan, Dr. Comez met the chief doctor of
the Saint Nerses Hospital Dr. Savak Avakyan.
Avakyan indicated that his hospital serves the economically
disadvantaged. “Armenia is one of those countries where the number
of doctors and nurses is very high. There are 14,000 medical doctors
and 35,000 nurses in Armenia,” told Avakyan.
Avakyan commented that an Armenian doctor has been sent to Istanbul
for further training. “This doctor will hold a scientific meeting
with his Turkish counterparts in Istanbul.”
Dr. Comez participated in the kidney surgery of Seda Steponyan. Prior
to the surgery, Comez held the hands of Steponyan and tried to give
her morale.
Comez told Steponyan that he is Turkish and is willing to assist in
Steponyan’s surgery. In response to Comez’s proposal, Steponyan said
that she has a doctor. “However,” stated Steponyan, “I have confidence
in you as well.”
Comez met Yerevan’s mayor Yervant Zakaryan after the surgery at Saint
Nerses Hospital.
