Hayrikian: I am entitled to larger compensation

The former presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrkian, who was injured in an attempted murder committed against him in January, wrote on his Facebook page, commenting on the government decision to allocate 20.5 million AMD for his treatment abroad:

“Feelings are running high after the government made a decision to assist me. The funny thing is that I have not yet received that sum, and it is strange that we have so many ill-wishers. In reality, I am entitled to a larger compensation. The state apologized to me for my lost 17 and a half years and offered compensation in 1991, but I declined to accept it.

As for the current allocation, the cost was estimated by medical establishments and may be reduced or increased, depending on the course of treatment. I am grateful to all doctors and state figures, who provided this allocation in order to save my health. I have my own compensation program (I will speak about it later).

Another doctor examined me today and prescribed new painkillers. The main treatment will start after Easter”.
