Saved by the Hair on October 27, Only to Go Back Again on October 27: Friends Reflect on Gayane Paytian

Levon Sardarayan, head of the information department of the Yerevan municipality, writes: "Gayush jan, my friend, my sister… how did you do this, Paytian girl? You were saved by the hair on October 27, 1999, only to go back on October 27 again? Rise up, Gay jan…"

Journalist Hrach Mkrtchyan writes: "Yesterday I learned that Gayane Paytian underwent a complicated surgery. We prayed all day, but alas… May you shine in the lights, dear Gayane jan…"

Journalist Margarit Sargsyan wrote: "Payts, Gayans, my Gay jan, should I write about you through the echoes of your vibrant laughter from the past? Your whole life was a fight and struggle; you won everywhere, but this one was treacherous... After every battle you won, speaking with you calmed me, as if all your medical diagnoses disappeared before your will to love life and live it... Your greatest mission in life was your two Light Dzaghukners… You know, our union does not like denial; we were all waiting in unison for a miracle to deny this... Gay jan, peace to you..."
