“We are outraged by the cynical stuffing that is being circulated in the local information space, containing blasphemous and false accusations against Russian structures of involvement in the tragedy that occurred on August 14 on the territory of the Surmalu shopping center,” the diplomatic mission said in a statement.
It is noted that the Russian side views this as a direct provocation by political forces aimed at undermining Russian-Armenian allied relations.
On August 14, an explosion occurred in a shopping center in Yerevan.
The death toll, according to the latest data, has increased to 16.
According to the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Armenia Armen Pambukhchyan, a pregnant woman and a young child are among the dead.
