In the morning, the site "shamshyan.com" published "Emergency case in Yerevan. A 17-year-old student of the "Art of Staying Alive" military-patriotic organization shot an 11-year-old child several times with an air rifle, causing physical injuries.
has published an article with a reference. In order to find out what happened in reality, "Detq" spoke with the deputy director of AoS, Vaghinak Vardanov.

He said that on January 6, Hovhannes Matsakyan, who died about a year ago in 2023. at the beginning, participated in the courses of the OMA, visited the center of the AoS. On that day, Hovhannes was also with the children who were always playing in the yard of the hostel in the area. As a result of the game, the latter shot 11-year-old Volodya with a toy bought from the store.

"Volodya and Hovhannes always come to AoS, play together, even often sit at the table with us to eat together. I don't understand this obsession with turning a feather into a camel and using our logo to gain views and exploiting the fact that we are a member of AoS. I would like to point out that the AoS courses were resumed only on January 8, two days after the incident, and there was no AoS instructor in the area. I urge you to contact us first before disseminating information of this nature to clarify how the reality was," Vaghinak noted and added that today the 75-day training course of AoS starts, which should be given more attention and disseminated, because it is one of the important factors in the development of our self-defense.

PS: It is sad to note that the Armenian media spreads false articles about the AoS with such zeal and provocative titles that it can only give our enemies the greatest joy and opportunity to be wild.
