Defense Ministry refutes rumors of mass poisoning in military institute

Rumors were circulating on the Internet today that there was a mass poisoning in the Vazgen Sargsyan Military Institute, as a result of which a group of students was taken to “Nork” infectious diseases hospital. In particular, Nrnak.com cited a citizen’s letter to the editorial office as a source of information.

A nurse on duty in “Nork” hospital refuted the information that ten students with poisoning were admitted to their hospital.

She refused to make comments by phone, adding: “You may come to the hospital tomorrow and see information about the patients admitted”.

The Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisian also refuted the rumors during a talk with the correspondent of Aysor.am. “It is misinformation,” he said.
