Yerevan, 3 December: A criminal case has been opened into the
explosion in the car of the editor of Yerevan daily Aykakan Zhamanak,
Nikol Pashinyan.

At approximately 2040 local time [1640 gmt] on 22 November, the
Niva jeep belonging to Nikol Pashinyan caught fire outside Aykakan
Zhamanak’s editorial offices. The forensic fire and technical
examination concluded that open fire caused the blaze, the Armenian
Prosecutor-General’s Office told Arminfo. The source said that this
gives a basis to open a criminal case. When the results of the forensic
examination were received, on 2 December a criminal case was opened
on the incident under points 2 and 3 of the second part of Article
185 of the Armenian Criminal Code (deliberate destruction or damage
to property by arson, causing major losses). The Yerevan police’s
investigative department is investigating the circumstances.
