54 sheep were killed in the Friday car crash on the Armavir-Gyumri
highway, it has emerged.
Earlier reports suggested that the accident caused by a Mercedes
vehicle on the 68th km of the highway had left only 18 sheep dead. The
flock belonged to Assad Galoyan, an ethnic Yezid residing in the
Vanand village (Armavir region). The shepherd hospitalized with a leg
injury is a resident of the same village and a distant relative of
Galoyan, Jivan Manykyan, the governor of Vanand, told Tert.am.
`He left the 54 [sheep] on the road and came back,' he said. `He
couldn't have carried the cattle killed by another, so he left them on
there.'
Speaking to Tert.am, Kaloyan said the Mercedes driver went at an
extremely high speed, shattering everything to pieces.
Five of the killed sheep belonged to Asad's sister. As for the
possibility of compensation, the aggrieved said that the driver had
not even taken the trouble to take him to hospital to know his
condition after the crash.
Asked about the size of the damage caused, Kaloyan said the
approximate market price of the deceased sheep is 50,000 Drams
($122,763), the logic suggesting that the total damage can be estimate
at around 2,5 million Drams ($6,136.800 ).
