On January 12, at 9 am, employees of the 2nd field of the border detachment of the National Security Service of Syunik Province made an intriguing discovery in the administrative territory of Ishkhanasar village. They stumbled upon a concealed compartment in an “Opel Zafira” car. The driver of the vehicle revealed that it was an “IJ-18 E” model, containing a 20 mm caliber bullet magazine. To their surprise, they found 19 bullets of the same caliber.

The National Security Service promptly launched an investigation into this peculiar find. It was later revealed that the driver and the bullets had a rather fascinating history. Apparently, the deceased priest had owned them since 2005. The driver, a 33-year-old resident of Sisian, was apprehended and transferred to the Goris division of the National Security Service, while the “Opel Zafira” car, along with the weapons and ammunition, was carefully relocated to the storage area of the division. The relevant documents concerning this case have already been forwarded to the investigative department of Sisian.
