/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On February 23, at the Argavand crossroad near
Yerevan, the police stopped two cars, namely VAZ21010 ¹ 80 UU 555
and BMW X5 99SL 555, conveying armed people who aimed to destabilize
Armenia, said a statement issued by the RA Police.

The car was stopped for a check but the passengers showed
resistance. As result, two law enforcers – Gevorg Malkhasyan and Tigran
Karapetyan – were wounded. Vardan Jahangiryan, who put up resistance,
was also injured.

The law enforcers detained former deputy prosecutor general Gagik

As is turned out, Gagik Jahangiryan had a Czech pistol with 14
cartridges in it. His brother was armed with PSM pistol with 8
cartridges. A gun, a browning, a knife, handcuffs and a bullet-proof
vest were found in the car.

A criminal case was initiated

By presidential decree, Gagik Jahangiryan was released from the post
of deputy prosecutor general after he joined the opposition movement
led by Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
