ArmInfo.Thanks to the undertaken investigative measures, in the framework of the criminal case on mass riots on the night of April 17 at the intersection of Mashtots- Tumanyan, the identity of one of the participants in the riots was identified - he was detained.
As the press service of the Armenian Defense Ministry told ArmInfo, according to the criminal case, a group of people participating in the rally, organized by MP Nikol Pashinyan, late at night on April 17 at the crossroads of ul. Tumanyan-Mashtots smashed signposts and traffic lights, and then struck stones and metal bars at service police cars that were there, causing property damage. The criminal case was initiated on the basis of Art. 225, part 1, item 2 of the RA Criminal Code.
In the UK they say that the detainee is a resident of Yerevan. Moreover, large-scale measures are being taken to identify all the participants in the incident. Further investigation was transferred to the Special Investigation Service.
It should be noted that Pashinyan himself denies participation of his adherents in these disorders and blames all the blame on this incident on the ruling regime.
