MARCH 1 STILL LIVES IN LEO
Support A1+!The Torosyans will remember the horrible events of March 1-2 by the time their 33-year-old son Ruben Torosyan finally recovers from the shock.
On March 1 Ruben Torosyan received a bullet wound when looking from his own balcony in Leo Street. Ruben was neither on the scene of confrontation nor at Liberty Square on that day.
The father of two underage children had a gloomy foreboding that something terrible would happen on March 1.
At about 10 p.m. when the shooting had stopped Ruben went out to the balcony and fell down in a trice. The balcony was immediately covered with Ruben's blood and resembled a bloodbath.
Thanks to army recruits who were on “military service” unconscious Ruben was taken to the nearest ambulance as a blockade was imposed in the central streets. Ruben was taken to Hospital N1 and then to “St Grigor Lusavorich" Medical Centre.
Ruben was operated on at 11.15 p.m. The bullet lodged in the forehead and made its way through the skull harming important tissues.
The bullet is an exhibit and was involved in the court ruling. But as far as I know the case was dismissed and the law-enforcer inflicting a mortal wound on Ruben hasn't been detected, says Ruben's wife.
After the five-hour operation Ruben’s state worsened: doctors found haematoma in the brain and there was an urgent need for a second operation. Doctors eliminated 125 milliliter blood from his brain. It is due to mention that the brain was budged during the operation which resulted in the weakening of Ruben's right hand and foot.
The Torosyans don't lay any claims today. They thank God for keeping Ruben alive. Today Ruben Torosyan is an invalid of 1st group and needs full treatment.
Being the only male in the family Ruben is to shoulder the financial burden and feed a five-member family.
