ArmInfo. ‘ Police initiated criminal case on fact of yesterday’s
incident between Leader of Progressive Party Tigran Urikhanyan and
me, but Urikhanyan has not been detained so far’, Head of Helsinki
Association Mikael Danielyan told ArmInfo.

Yesterday at about 3:00 pm Mikael Danielyan and Tigran Urikhayan
squabbled in Teryan Street in Yerevan. Thus, Danielyan tells that
he stopped at the traffic lights when the driver of a BMW behind
him started impatiently honking his horn. While he was trying to
find out the reason of the horn, a young man who proved leader of
Progressive Party Tigran Urikhanyan, got out of the BMW, and fired
at M. Danielyan from a gas gun crying and insulting him. The later
says that his breast bled from the pot shot, but the wounds proved
not dangerous. ‘Later doctors told me that everything could be much
more worse if I were injured in throat’, he said.

Both the parties were taken to Police and gave explanations.
