    A candidate in Armenia's presidential elections has been shot and
    wounded in the capital Yerevan, in what officials believe was an
    assassination attempt.

    The officials say Paruir Airikian was taken to hospital with a gunshot
    injury to his shoulder. He is reportedly in a stable condition.

    Police have sealed off the area and are searching for the gunman.

    Mr Airikian, a well-known dissident from the Soviet era, is one of
    eight people contesting the 18 February poll.
