Defense Ministry rep: Jalal Harutyunyan remains in serious but stable condition
Lieutenant-General Jalal Harutyunyan remains in serious but stable condition, Armenian Defense Ministry representative Artsrun Hovhannisyan told a Facebook press conference of RFE/RL’s Armenian service on Monday.
Earlier in October, Artsakh presidential spokesman Vahram Poghosyan said that Harutyunyan's injuries were not life-threatening, adding he would rejoin the military soon.
Jalal Harutyunyan was dismissed as Artsakh Defense Minister-Commander of the Defense Army on 27 October after being injured on the battlefield.
“The decision to release Jalal Harutyunyan was dictated by the injury he sustained most recently in the combat position and should not become a reason for discussions,” Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan said.
On 28 October, the Hero of Artsakh highest title was bestowed upon him.
