Baku, March 24, AssA-Irada

A powerful explosion hit downtown Yerevan on Thursday morning. The
blast was caused by an explosive hidden in the tree near the State
Customs Committee building, according to Armenian sources.

The Committee chairman’s office car was damaged as a result of the
explosion but the chairman and his driver received no injuries.
The explosion came on the first day of Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s official visit to Yerevan.

Armenian law-enforcement bodies stated on the eve of the Russian
President’s visit that security was tightened in the country.*

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
