23 July: Armenia's Defence Ministry has denied reports that the hand grenade
thrown at the US and Georgian presidents in Tbilisi on 10 May was made in
Armenia.
The hand grenade cannot have been made in Armenia as "currently Armenia does
not produce hand grenades", Armenian Defence Ministry spokesman Seyran
Shakhsuvaryan said.
According to RFE/RL, Armenia used to produce hand grenades in the 1990s, but
stopped producing them as it was not profitable and required large technical
expenses.
