Investigators Discuss Entry to the 'Pentagon' Shopping Center

Not long ago, we reported that people have gathered, asking for clear reasons regarding the announcement of the opening date for the 'Pentagon' shopping center. This was followed by a statement from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Hayk Kostanyan, who said: ‘The operators of the ‘Pentagon’ shopping center demand a specified date to know when they can return to work. Currently, officials from the Police, Investigative Committee, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are discussing a way for the business operators to return to normal operations. A statement will be released once the decision is made.’

Auroranews spoke with the investigative body. The spokesperson for the Investigative Committee, Vardan Tadevosyan, stated that investigatory actions are underway in the vicinity of 'Surmalu,' but it is unclear when they will be completed. ‘Until the operations are concluded, no unauthorized person can be present in the area,’ the agency noted.

Recall that on August 14, at 13:23, the National Crisis Management Center received a call reporting an explosion at the 'Surmalu' shopping center.
