A stupid joke by one of those present at the Friday gala concert of
the Republican Party of Armenia in the Republic Square might have
ended in a tragedy.
ArmInfo's correspondent reports from the square that the joker brought
his cigarette close to an oxygen balloon, causing an explosion and
a subsequent chain reaction.
Some of the people holding the balloons got minor burns. Ambulance
cars arrived shortly afterwards to provide them with first aid and
to take some of them to hospital for examination.
Despite the incident the gala concert is going on, with thousands of
people waiting for the speech of President Serzh Sargsyan.
