Attempt on presidential candidate is crime against state - Armenian president
YEREVAN, February 2 (Itar-Tass) - The attempt on the life of
presidential candidate Paruyr Airakian was crime against a statesman
and against the Armenian statehood, President Serzh Sargsyan said on
Friday. In the evening he visited Yerevan's St. Gregory Hospital to
cheer the wounded politician.
`It is nakedly clear that those behind the crime planned to influence
the normal course of elections,' Sargsyan said.
`I would like everybody to be certain. Our law enforcement agencies
will do everything in their powers to solve the crime,' Sargsyan said.
The incumbent, also registered as a presidential candidate, is the
indisputable leader in the ongoing presidential election race. The
