The case of the explosion at Nairit factory is still in the
pre-investigation phase and there is no new information on the event
thus far, said Sayat Shirinyan, police colonel and head of Republic
of Armenia police public relations and press department, at today’s
press conference.

Shirinyan did note, however, that a few expert examinations took
place in connection with the case, while some examinations are still
underway. Shirinyan didn’t share other details.

Earlier, the police force had announced that the "human factor" was
the reason for the explosion at Nairit. Asked whether the police force
is of the same opinion today, Shirinyan first responded by saying
that the police force never denies its statements, then added that
they have a few hypotheses and by checking them one after another,
they will arrive at the objective truth.
