A closed-door meeting initiated by the opposition to discuss the incident in Shaki is underway in the Armenian National Assembly.

The ministers of defense and interior affairs, as well as the director of the National Security Service, are attending the meeting.

Earlier, NEWS.am reported that at around 2 p.m. on October 1, 2026, Azerbaijani citizen and serviceman Nasimi Musayev illegally entered a house at 20 Sixth Street in the Shaki settlement of Sisian community, Syunik Province. After being discovered, he opened fire.

As a result of the shooting, Ani Avetisyan, born in 1987, was wounded.

The Azerbaijani citizen then fled the scene. Following search operations, Nasimi Musayev was found at 26 Sixth Street in Shaki.

Criminal proceedings were initiated under five articles of the Criminal Code in connection with the incident, and Musayev was remanded in custody for two months.

Arpi Avetisyan, the sister of the woman injured in the shooting, told NEWS.am that the Azerbaijani serviceman had taken the children hostage, and that their mother lost three fingers on her left hand while protecting them. When he attempted to reload his assault rifle, the Armenian woman stabbed him with a knife. After the mother lost consciousness, her son struck the Azerbaijani serviceman on the head with his fist, sustaining a fracture to his wrist in the process.
