The health condition of 18-year-old Davit Minasyan, who was detained for 2 months and is now in the hospital after the provocation with the participation of Nikol Pashinyan in St. Anna Church on March 29, continues to be a concern.

Davit Minasyan’s lawyer Varduhi Elbakan he said, he saw Davit a few minutes ago, he continues to be bothered by headaches and dizziness, the doctors injected painkillers for the pains.

“David can’t look at the light at all, for a moment a light fell on his face, he quickly closed his eyes. We always go to David, but we try not to make him talk too much so that he doesn’t spend extra energy talking. The other lawyer, Lusine Martirosyan, and I are going to find out if he ate something or not. No matter how much the parents try to feed him, he does not eat. Yesterday Lusine and I convinced him to eat a little.” of 168.am Varduhi Elbakyan said in a conversation with

“We also have a psychological problem here, we approach it very delicately in this matter. Imagine, at the age of 18: the investigation department, the criminal department, the detention center for the arrested, then the isolation cell, the hospital, then again the isolation cell, again the isolation cell. Can you imagine that David’s life changed 360 degrees in 6 days? I don’t know what happened to this child,” added Varduhi Elbakyan.

The lawyer also conveyed that at the moment only his lawyers can see Davit.

“Yesterday evening, Arsen Babayan and Ruben Melikyan visited, after that Armen Melkonyan and I, well, Lusine and I probably visit 6-7 times during the day. The meetings of all of us probably last 10 minutes, except for Ruben Melikyan, because they have spiritual conversations, which I can’t do,” stressed the lawyer.

Regarding the question, what do the doctors say about Davit’s health condition, is the condition on the way to stabilization, the lawyer answered that they have not talked to the doctors yet, although the doctors are there every day.

“We do not ask the doctors this question, of course, we have officially made an inquiry, we are afraid to disturb them. As of now, official information has not been provided to us,” Varduhi Elbakyan emphasized.

It should be noted that Davit Minasyan was detained on April 1 for a period of 2 months.

Let’s remind that on March 29, when there was a service in Saint Anna Church, Nikol Pashinyan decided to enter the church with his teammates and security guards, and his security guards tried to open the way by pushing the gathered people. At that time, David and his brother Michael were participating in the liturgy in the church and were urged not to push each other. At that time, a stampede started, one of Nikol Pashinyan’s security guards punched David. After the incident, 2 brothers were arrested, at the moment Mikael is free as an accused, he was released in exchange for a bail of 5 million drams and a signature not to be absent.

“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
