The chances of human rights activist Ogtay Gyulalyev’s exit from a coma increased, his son Tabriz said on December 19.

“Today, a Turkish doctor, Bulent Kahyaoglu, examined his father at the Istanbul Clinic “American Hospital”. According to the doctor, the chances of the father getting out of the coma are great,” Tabriz said. He also said that father tried to open his right eye today.

“However, there is still swelling in the brain in such a place that surgery is impossible and the father must resolve himself,” said the activist’s son. According to him, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation makes decisions on financing treatment every 10 days at the conclusion of the doctors.

“We will be informed about the allocation of a new amount to continue treatment tomorrow,” said Tabriz Gyulalyev.
