Terrorism Ruled Out With ''99% Certainty'' in Yerevan Market Blast: Minister

The Armenian Ministry of Emergency Situations is ''99% certain'' that the explosion in the Surmalu market was not an act of terrorism, according to Armenpress the Minister of Emergency Situations Armen Pambukhchyan told reporters.

''Looking at the footage of the moment of the blast it becomes obvious that there can be no talk about an act of terror because first of all there is some fire, smoke rises, then only the blast. Meaning there was some volume of fire which then spread out on the explosive materials. According to the ministry of emergency situations this is 99 percent accurate,''he said.

Speaking about the bomb threats which targeted various structures in Yerevan following the blast, Pambukhchyan said all threats were fake.
