According to the factual data obtained by the investigation, on July 18, 2021, at around 19:15, the 46-year-old man, seeking clarifications after his wife Narik Karapetyan honked at him in traffic, met with Narik Karapetyan and his sister's husband alongside his acquaintance Robert Sukiasyan and a group of other individuals.

The conversation quickly escalated into a dispute, during which the 46-year-old man struck Narik Karapetyan with his fist, and subsequently, displaying open disrespect toward society, they shouted insults at each other for an extended period and exchanged blows.
