    A 39-year old Lieutenant Colonel Vardan Samvelyan entered Harsnaqar
    restaurant complex at approximately 2.15 am on July 1 threatening to
    blow it up.

    Photojournalist Gagik Shamshyan reported that Samvelyan entered the
    complex in a military uniform with a bag threatening to detonate
    explosives.

    Director of Harsnaqar Hrachya Zohrabyan called the police to report
    about the incident. The police officers dispatched to the site
    negotiated with the man for about 3 hours. They managed to disarm
    Samvelyan and took him to Nor Nork police department.

    The police task force has found explosives in Samvelyan's bag and
    seized them. Materials are being prepared over the case.

    Vardan Samvelyan's father is police colonel Samvel Samvelyan working
    in criminal department of the police, and brother Arman Samvelyan is a
    police agent.

    On June 30 a candle-lighting ceremony was held with participation of
    few hundreds of citizens which later turned into a protest action
    because of a wedding held in the restaurant complex where doctor Vahe
    Avetyan, together with his friends, was severely beaten by the
    restaurant's security guards on July 17.

    Major Vahe Avetyan, who was the chief of the ENT Department at
    Yerevan's Garrison Hospital, was subsequently hospitalized and
    underwent three surgeries, but doctors didn't manage to save his life.
    Remaining unconscious for about a fortnight, he died on Friday
    evening.
