There were people who saw the gunman who shot and wounded presidential
candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan late on January 31.
Hayrikyan’s neighbours saw someone in a black coat fleeing the scene
overnight. The neighbours went out on hearing Hayrikyan’s calls for
help.
After the incident, Hayrikyan ascended to the second floor where he
fell down near the staircase. Hayrikyan’s wife and daughter came out
to help him with the neighbours.
“There must have been two shots. At about 11:20 p.m. we heard a dull
sound like a gunshot,” said one of the neighbours.
Most of them refrained from speaking before a camera. Nor did they
want to introduce themselves.
They said that Hayrikyan was in a terrible condition when they saw
him. He pointed to his right arm could barely speak. They he fainted
on the doorstep.
The neighbours say the police came very quickly while the ambulance
arrived in 20-25 minutes. The presidential candidate had lost enough
blood during that period.
