"The state of Armenian MP Miasnik Malkassian detained in connection
with the March 1 unrest has worsened," the press secretary to the
Penitentiary Department of the RoA Ministry of Justice, Arsen Babayan,
said to A1+.
Malkhassian suffers from diabetes mellitus. Presently, he is
under medical observation in the Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary
