    Paruyr Hayrikyan, a candidate in the current campaign for the
    presidency of Armenia was shot late Thursday evening in Tpagrichner
    street, downtown Yerevan. The wound was not fatal and it is reported
    that he was shot in the shoulder.

    Few details are known as of shortly past midnight Yerevan time.

    Armenianow tried to get in touch with candidate Hayrikyan by calling
    his cell phone. A young man answered and confirmed that he had been
    shot and taken to Grigor Lusavorish hospital.

    A nurse on duty at the hospital informed ArmeniaNow that Hayrikyan was
    wounded in his right collarbone, but was conscious.

    Reportedly chief of police Vladimir Gasparyan and more than two dozens
    of police officers arrived after the incident.

    Harikyan, 63, is a former Soviet dissident, and leader of the National
    Self-Determination Union, and is considered a marginal figure in the
    race for president, recently polling less than one percent of voter
    interest.
