YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. On October 26, Seyran Nikoghosian,
principal coach of Armenian national team of bullet shooting,
presented report at the Armenian State Sport Committee. Highly
estimating the international performances of Armenian riflemen, he
also mentioned that the first and for the present the only Armenian
sportsman who gained the right to take part in the Beijing-2008
Olympic Games is Europe Vice-Champion Norayr Bakhtamian. At the same
time, the report drew attention to the fact that training conditions
of riflemen are unsatisfactory in Armenia, there is lack of arms and
bullets. It was decided to carry out some partial repairs at some
shooting-grounds before putting into exploitation the new shooting
