Following investigative and procedural actions conducted by the Vagharshapat investigative department of the Investigative Committee of Armenia, it was determined that at around 21:30 on the same day, in the Aravashat community of the Armavir region, during a dispute that arose over a household issue, a 24-year-old resident of the same community attacked the 27-year-old villager with a sharp cutting-stabbing tool, intentionally causing severe harm to his health with a penetrating injury to the left side of the chest. Additionally, during the same incident, the 24-year-old also struck the face of the victim's friend, a 25-year-old man, inflicting bodily injury.
