Pavel Manukyan and Aram have been Wounded as a Result of a Skirmish: Ashot Aharonyan

Suzanne Simonyan, press speaker of the Founding Parliament, made a post on Facebook, that they contacted “Sasna Tsrer.” “Armen Kyureghyan, father of Kyureghyan brothers, states that there was no attack from the side of the police. The reality is the following: an agreement has been reached to hand over the injured gunman to the police. Pavlik was to perform that.

The police opened fire and wounded him. Aram, Pavlik’s son ran towards his father, as a result, he received injuries as well. Other two young men, Gagik, and seemingly, Aram, took out stretchers to take the wounded in. They have been detained. There is one injured person inside the Police station, and he’s receiving medical assistance in the territory of the police station. Spirit of the guys is martial,” S.Simonyan wrote.

Ashot Aharonyan, Head of the Information and Public Relations Department of the RA Police, in a talk with 168.am urged to rely only on clarified, official information,

“Information provided by the user you mentioned throughout last 10 days, didn’t correspond to the reality. I call to refrain from disseminating inaccurate information.”

Reflecting to the doctors held hostage in the territory of the police station, A.Aharonyan stated, that negotiations are underway to free them.

Earlier, Ashot Aharonyan issued the following statement, “In the territory of the Police patrol regiment members of the armed group Gagik Yeghiazaryan and Aram Hakobyan have been handed over to the law enforcement. Shooting has been recorded, as a result of which one of the law enforcement, as well as Pavel Manukyan and his son Aram suffered injuries.

The three have been immediately transported to the hospital. At the moment the shooting has stopped and negotiations are underway to accomplish the process of surrender of the gunmen.”
