Yesterday evening an elderly man showed up in Northern Avenue and
began railing at the presentees. He was shouting "Long live to Serzh!"

Members of the Pan-National Movement tried to call him to order but
all their efforts were in vain.

Volodia M., 1938, kicked up a row with them and stabbed David
Kiramijian, 199, harming the latter’s forearm.

Twenty minutes later an ambulance arrived on the scene. "Everything is
all right," David said to A1+ after receiving first medical aid. His
forearm was harmed. David was much concerned that he had been stabbed
in the eyes of his mother.

David was taken to hospital as the wound was rather deep. Presently,
he is in his place.

A1+ was told that Volodia M. keeps visiting the avenue, threatening
people and making provocative announcements.

Eye-witnesses say before provoking the incident Volodia M. had talked
to top-ranked police officers Aghasy Kirakossian and Valeri Osipian
at Liberty Square.

Yesterday evening David Kiramijian’s father Haikaz Kiramijian reported
the police department of Yerevan’s central Kentron district that his
son had been stabbed in Northern Avenue.

Preliminary investigation is underway.
