Russian disinformation falsely claims Yerevan demonstrators breached into government building, came across US troops

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 23, ARMENPRESS. Several Russian media outlets have spread disinformation falsely claiming that demonstrators in Yerevan ‘breached into the Government headquarters’ on September 20 and ‘stumbled upon American paratroopers’ there.

Neither has any protester breached into the government building nor were there any U.S. paratroopers there, the Prime Minister’s Office told ARMENPRESS.

“No demonstrator breached into the Government building that day, and furthermore, there was no American paratrooper there,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. The Russian media report is an absolute disinformation, it added.
