YEREVAN, July 18. /ARKA/. People who are now in the police regiment’s territory seized Sunday morning in Yerevan by a group of armed men are provided with meals and necessary medicaments, the Armenian National Security Service.

According to police, Colonel Arthur Vanoyan was killed as the armed men stormed the police station and four others injured. Two top police officials, deputy police chief Vardan Egiazaryan and Yerevan deputy police chief Valeri Osipyan were among those being held hostage.
