YEREVAN. – Armenian military serviceman Arman Avetisyan, who lost his leg as a result of the Azerbaijani aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh in early April, was one of the first wounded.

Doctor-orthopedist Mkrtich Ginosyan has fitted a prosthetic leg to Avetisyan, and the latter again met with the physician to adjust this prosthetic leg.

Ginosyan told NEWS.am that Arman has been fitted a temporary, training prosthetic leg, and that the permanent one will be fitted in three months.

The young man said, as a result of a grenade blast by the adversary, he lost his foot when he was trying to retrieve his commander, Lieutenant Ashot Shahbazyan, from the shots being fired.

Avetisyan, however, had sustained another shrapnel wound while he was being taken down from the military positions.

Arman was rushed to the nearby hospital, where his leg was immediately amputated. Subsequently, he was transferred to the Central Clinical Military Hospital, in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan, where he underwent two surgeries.

Before being drafted to the army, Arman Avetisyan was accepted to the Armenian National Agrarian University.
