Armenian presidential hopeful Paruyr Hayrikyan’s health has deteriorated, the candidate’s campaign headquarters coordinator said.

“Mr Hayrikyan’s health has impaired. Doctors have banned him from leaving hospital, at least for a few days,” Manya Ayvazyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, adding that the candidate has asked to stop hospital visits.

On January 31, Hayrkyan was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound.
