    YEREVAN.- At the moment presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan is
    being interrogated by law enforcers, politician's nephew Vrezh
    Zatikyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, an assassination attempt
    was made against presidential candidate, opposition National
    Self-Determination Union Chairman Paruyr Hayrikyan, on Thursday at
    around 11:20pm in downtown Yerevan, in front of his home. Hayrikyan
    was shot and hospitalized with a gunshot wound. He underwent a
    successful surgery Friday morning, and a bullet - which was located in
    the soft tissues of his right elbow shoulder - was removed.

    A criminal case is opened in connection with the assassination attempt
    against Paruyr Hayrikyan. It is launched on charges of carrying out an
    assassination attempt against a statesman, political or public figure,
    which - that is, the attempt - is carried out to end this person's noted
    activities. This crime is punishable by imprisonment for 12-20 years,
    or life in prison.

    Police and National Security Service have formed a group to
    investigate the case.
