The condition of Albert, 28, one of the Armenians seriously wounded in Bashkiria’s city of Salavat, has already normalized, Arkadi Dalaryan, Chairman of the Bashkirian Regional Department of the Union of Armenians of Russia, told Armenian News –NEWS.am.

Although Albert had very small chances to survive, the young man is fortunately recovering. “One of the injured has been operated on 4 times, and he has yet to undergo the 5th operation. The condition of the third injured Armenian in the intensive care unit is also normal,” Dalaryan said.  

The criminal “drama” occurred in Salavat, Russia in the night of Thursday.  A group of masked men came to an auto service and fired at seven Armenians. One of the shooters – Nagim Shakirogli Mamedov,35, who has criminal record - was an Azeri. The victims are A. Voskanyan, T. Voskanyan, S. Grigoryan, M. Malomyan (in intensive care unit), A. Avetyan (in intensive care unit), and A. Akulyan (in intensive care unit). The owner of the auto service, Arthur Sargsyan, died in the central city hospital of Slavat from a bullet wound to his head.
