Physician to fly to Germany with paralyzed soldier
The mother of Armenian serviceman Gevorg Yeghiazaryan, who was paralyzed after being wounded at a military position, today told A1+ that they have contacted the clinic that will treat her son in Germany. “Before leaving for Germany, we need 2 or 3 months to prepare Gevorg for the flight. Before that he will continue treatment at home,” Mrs Naira told A1+. The mother also asked Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan to provide a physician who will fly to Germany with them and take care of Gevorg’s health on the plane. The minister did not refuse the mother. “Besides, the Ministry has also covered the costs of one-month therapy,” she said. Gevorg Yeghiazaryan received a gunshot wound at a military position in Martakert region on December 27, 2011. Yeghiazaryan has been confined to bed ever since an Azerbaijani sniper’s bullet hit his spine.In the past, the Ministry already provided funding for Gevorg Yeghiazaryan’s treatment, but that course of therapy was not sufficient to get the 23-year-old back on his feet. Armenian citizens have already collected $ 56 000 needed for Gevorg's treatment abroad. Besides, the Cabinet members have transferred about 11 million drams to the account of the paralyzed soldier.
