In a conversation with ArmInfo correspondent, Eduard Sharmazanov, the
press-secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and an
Armenian MP, denied the rumors concerning a squabble that allegedly
took place between the Prefect of the Center community of Yerevan,
Gagik Beglaryan (`Black Gago’), and Armenian MP Ashot Aghababyan
(`Burnash’) near the Hrazdan Stadium on August 16.

`These rumors are amazing because, in fact, the relations between
Beglaryan and Aghababyan are quite normal,’ E.Sharmazanov said.
According to him, some Armenian journalists look for sensations,
therefore such articles appear in the mass media very often. It is
noteworthy that both Beglaryan and Aghababyan are RPA members.

To note, an article was published in the Aug 17 number of the Haykakan
Zhamanak newspaper saying that a squabble took place between the
Prefect of the Center community of Yerevan, Gagik Beglaryan, and
Armenian MP Ashot Aghababyan on August 16. As a result, Aghababyan
allegedly sustained a bodily injury. It was also pointed out in the
article that no shotgun was used during the squabble.
