Law-enforcement authorities in Armenia said late on Wednesday that an unknown gunman opened fire on a car carrying Suren Khachatrian, the governor of the southeastern Syunik province notorious for violent conduct.
According to the Investigative Committee, Khachatrian, his driver and assistant came under fire on the road connecting the regional capital Kapan to Goris, the governor’s hometown also located in Syunik. “Nobody was hurt,” the committee said in a statement.
The statement added that Yerevan-based senior officers from the committee and the Armenian police rushed to the scene immediately after the reported shooting. “Necessary investigative measures are being taken to clarify all circumstances of the incident,” it said.
