YEREVAN. Nov 12
The Armenian president's press secretary Arman Sagatelyan said he
denied mass media reports on the deteriorating health of President
Serzh Sargsian.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsian felt sick on November 5 when he
was informed of riots in central Yerevan, the opposition newspaper
Haykakan Zhamanak reported on Tuesday.
"The report of the Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper is a silly lie,
which has nothing to do with journalism, and is simply the result of
somebody's unhealthy imagination," Sagatelyan tweeted.
Activist Shant Arutyunian, who declared his aspiration to carry
out a revolution in Armenia, said on November 5 that he intended
"to blow up the Armenian president's residence." Following this,
participants of the Anonimus march in support of Atutyunian started
to detonate bottles with petrol in central Yerevan.
Nine people, including eight police officers, were hospitalized
following the clashes.
A criminal case has been opened under the Article 316 Part 2,
assaulting a representative of authorities, and Article 185 Part 3,
intentional destruction of property or damage with fire, explosives
or other dangerous means, the Armenian police press service told
Interfax. A total of 38 people have been detained over the case and
20 of them have been placed under arrest.
