YEREVAN, November 23. /ARKA/. No one was injured in the presidential guard car fire accident in Armenia Wednesday, “Zhoghovurd” (People) newspaper reports referring to the head of state guard service Hrachyan Harutiunyan.

According to Harutiunyan, the guard was driving to the airport at night when shots were fired on the service vehicle from a passing car near the cognac factory. The bullet hit the car windshield.

“The driver was a resident of Echmiadzin; he opened the fire from the car. The police was informed about the case and responded promptly: the offender was found,” Harutiunyan said. The gun is taken away, he said.

According to the head of state guard service, it was a pure accident and was in no way connected with the president.
