No Defendants in the Surmalu Explosion Case: Details

There are no defendants in the Surmalu explosion case. If there were, the RA Prosecutor General's Office would have reported it in their statement yesterday evening. This was stated by Gohar Abrahamyan, advisor to the RA Prosecutor General.

“Yesterday, the newspaper 'Hraparak' asked me about the case concerning the fire that occurred in the Surmalu shopping center in 2021, and I mentioned that there is a defendant in that case. In other words, I was referring to the presence of a defendant in the criminal case opened regarding the 2021 incident. I urge media outlets spreading this misinformation to remove it. This is not a case where publishing incorrect information can be tolerated.

PS. To avoid falling into such misunderstandings, I always urge media outlets to officially verify information before publishing it, even while preparing press releases,” he added.
