16:54 ~U 01.11.13
A resident of Yerevan's Malatia-Sebastia administrative district was
reported Friday afternoon to be threatening to cut his veins because
of being rejected a visa.
The incident was reported to the district police department 3:45pm
local time.
The policemen who went to the scene found Gurgen H in the apartment,
whom they later invited to the precinct station for testimony
A subsequent probe revealed that the man had applied to the district
passport desk earlier in the day for having a residence permit in
Ukraine prolonged but was rejected on account of a torn page in the
identity document. He was asked to submit an application for a new
passport but didn't do so and left discontented. He later again turned
to the passport desk several times with the same request, but was
rejected again. Later in the day, an employee of the Malatia-Sebastia
police department said the man was threatening to harm himself.
In a written explanation, Gurgen H said he had resorted to such a step
at a oment of anger, without having a serious intention to inflict
a physical harm on himself. He said that he had been notified of the
due procedures for changing the passport, adding that he did not have
any serious complaints and demands.
