Doctors Taken Hostage by the Armed Group: Ashot Aharonyan

Ashot Aharonyan, Head of the Information and Public Relations Department of the RA Police, issued a statement, which reads:

“This night the gunmen reported that there are two more wounded in the Police Patrol Station. The law enforcement urged to provide those persons with necessary medical assistance, but they were rejected.

The relatives of the wounded have also urged to take them to hospital. The law enforcement provided all the necessary conditions. Later the gunmen called the doctor stating that the conditions of the wounded are critical, and after the doctors arrived in the Police station, they have been held hostages by the gunmen.

The law enforcement agencies take measures to release the doctors from hostage through negotiations.”
