Artur Sargsyan (the bringer of bread) is still on a respirator at the Armenia Medical Center in Yerevan.

Sargsyan, listed in serious condition, was operated on last night after suddenly feeling ill. He had been released from the medical center a few days ago.

Sargsyan, awaiting trial for bringing food to members of the Sasna Dzrer armed group who seized a Yerevan police building last July, had been on a 25-day hunger strike.
