PanARMENIAN.Net – On June 21, at approx. 6:30 p.m. Yerevan time,
a fire broke out in the eastern part of Tsitsernakaberd hill, at
the site of the Monument to Armenian Genocide Victims. A fire engine
arrived at the site; with a second brigade of firemen summoned later.
As Armenian Ministry of Emergency situations told PanARMENIAN.Net
the fire was extinguished at 8:13 p.m.
According to Colonel Tatulyan, fire occurred in 5 different locations,
with 6 hectares of grass burnt as a result. “Today, about 20 similar
incidents occurred in Yerevan. I believe that was done on purpose,
as in current season the grass couldn’t become inflamed by itself,”
Tatulyan said.
