(Zhamanak, Hayk) quotting "reliable sources" spread rumors that
allegedly on March 2 "alarm was announced in many border military
units," "orders were given by the head of the Armed Forces General
Headquarters to heads of border zones military units" where the
head of the Armed Forces General Headquarters "gives them some
assignments ordering to take into consideration the increase of the
probability of resumption of operations." All this was connected with
the home political situation, was classed as "falsehood planned by
the administration to distract the people."
