Fortunately, there are no victims.
RA President’s Spokesman Viktor Soghomonyan today came forth with
a statement about the blasts in the Offices of "Prosperous Armenia"
Party that occurred last night in two communities of Yerevan.
"The President of the republic was informed about the accident. Robert
Kocharyan instructed the law-enforcement bodies to undertake all
necessary measures to disclose the crime as soon as possible and to
prevent reoccurrence of similar accidents in the future.
All the conditions exist in the country to launch a civilized political
struggle. Strongly denouncing this crime, we assess it as an attempt
to destabilize the situation and create an atmosphere of intolerance
on the eve of parliamentary elections. Extremist expressions cannot
distort the decisiveness to hold democratic elections in Armenia,"
Viktor Soghomonyan declared.
