Andranik Tevanyan s health sharply deteriorates in  penitentiary

ArmInfo.The health condition of Andranik Tevanyan, leader of the "Mother Armenia" party, has sharply deteriorated during a medical examination on the morning of July 20, according to a statement from the movement's press  service.

The source notes that Tevanyan experienced a sharp drop in blood  pressure. Prior to his detention in the penitentiary institution, he  had reportedly never suffered from blood pressure issues or any major  health problems. Initially, authorities at the facility decided to  call an ambulance as Tevanyan's condition was evaluated as critical,  but the decision was reversed a short time later after facility  officials determined that his condition was gradually normalizing and  there was no longer a threat to his life.

"Currently, Tevanyan's health condition has stabilized, his  well-being is satisfactory, and he is under the supervision of the  penitentiary's medical staff," the statement reads.

The party's press service added that Tevanyan expresses his gratitude  to the medical and facility staff for their professional and humane  treatment.
