- The number of the killed in March 1 Yerevan riots has not increased. 8 people, including 1 policeman, were killed, said Sona Truzyan, a spokesperson for the RA general prosecutor’s office. There were no deaths on March 1 morning when the opposition rally was dispersed in Liberty Square. During the March 1 and 2 disorders 180 policemen and 48 civilians were injured. The initiators of the unauthorized rallies provided people with false information with the purpose to destabilize the republic. Circulation of canards is underway. The citizens receive SMS reading that 58 people were killed. The Armenian prosecutor general’s office officially refutes the hearsay and affirms the death of 8 people, whose names were published on March 2. The planters of misinformation have been detected.
