    ARMENIA ARRESTS 2 MEN SUSPECTED IN SHOOTING ATTACK ON PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

    BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FEBRUARY 8, 2013 6:03 AM

    YEREVAN, Armenia - Armenia's National Security Agency says it has
    arrested two suspects in the shooting of a presidential candidate.

    Paruir Airikian, one of eight candidates in the Feb. 18 election,
    was shot and wounded by an unidentified assailant near his home in
    the Armenian capital a week ago.

    The agency says the suspects arrested Thursday confessed to
    participating in the attack. It said in a statement Friday that
    investigators are still looking into motives behind the shooting,
    but gave no further details.

    The attack on Airikian has thrown the election campaign into disarray,
    raising a possibility that the vote could be postponed.

    Airikian initially said he would seek a 15-day delay of the election,
    but then announced he would not contest the date of the vote.
