On Saturday evening a criminal fight occurred in Nork Community but it
did not result in skirmishes and shoot-out. The police arrived just
in time. Around 30 people were arrested. A great deal of weapon was
confiscated. A policeman told our reporter that there would be dead
people in case the police were late.
The photographer Gagik Shamshyan who witnessed this incident said
several dozens of cars arrived from different neighborhoods of Nork
Community and the region of Kotayk in front of the club near the
Military College. The matter of the fight was a plot of land. The local
"strongman" nicked Dmbuz was also there. The deputy chief of police
Hunan Poghosyan, the chief of police of Yerevan Nersik Nazaryan,
the head of the organized crime department Gagik Avetisyan arrived at
the scene. Gagik Shamshyan also told us that after the high-ranking
police officers had left, the deputy head of the organized crime
department Karen Babakekhyan arrived and hindered the reporters,
also shouting words of abuse.
"We will take them to the precinct and find out the details, surely
it was a fight of local "strongmen"," said a policeman.
In the meantime, witnesses told that the police burst into skirmishes
with women, broke into the nearby cafe and arrested the waitress.
"There was a shoot-out but nobody got injured or killed, they
had shot a car, when the police prevented," a policemen told our
reporter. The incident is said to be a fight between the Republicans
and the Bargavach Hayastan Party, about which the police had learned
beforehand, and the representatives of the criminal underworld
arrived there along with the criminal news report staff. Everything
seemed planned. In answer to the question if tomorrow we will see the
same cars driving freely in the street, as if nothing has happened,
the policeman said, "It’s quite possible that the owner of the car
is another person, and those who were here for the fight are other
people. But you will hardly see them at large. Although everything
is possible."
"Dmbuz is Chorni’s man, those are Tsarukyan’s people. This is a
Tsarukyan-Chorni fight, but we’ll see what this is all about," said
the guys in the street. The shot car was of Bargavach Hayastan Party.
By the way, Chorni is the nickname of the mayor of Yerevan Gagik
Beglaryan, and Gagik Tsarukyan is a member of parliament, the leader
of the Bargavach Hayastan Party.
