YEREVAN. - There is no suspect so far with respect to the criminal
lawsuit opened on the balloon explosion at Armenian capital city
Yerevan's Republic Square on May 4, during the parliamentary election
campaign concert-rally organized by the ruling Republican Party (RPA),
the Police informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.
There are no arrestees either, and the investigation is still in
progress.
According to our reliable sources, however, soon new findings are
expected regarding this case.
To note, the Police General Department of Investigation recently
received the expert conclusion for the cause of the balloon blast. And
Department division chief Arsen Ayvazyan noted that, according to
this conclusion, all of the close to 7,000 balloons were filled with
methane gas. "The conclusion states that the explosion occurred by
the effect of open fire," he said.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, a tragedy occurred during
the Republican Party of Armenia's rally and concert held at Yerevan's
Republic Square on May 4. Hundreds of balloons filled with gas exploded
and started to burn. Subsequently, the balloons' melted rubber fell on
the event participants. Those near the stage were affected the most,
and 154 people were injured.
Subsequently, German plastic surgeon Adrian Daigler, who was invited
to Armenia upon the instruction of President and RPA leader Serzh
Sargsyan, operated on nine patients who suffered injuries from the
balloon blast. And the last patient, who was injured as a result of
the explosion, was discharged on July 2.
