Seventeen children, who were hospitalized on symptoms of poisoning, are receiving treatment in the Talin town medical center in the Aragatsotn Province of Armeni, medical center director Armen Khachatryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“They are children from 6 months to 17 years old, residents of various communities, [and] they were hospitalized during the last three days,” said Khachatryan. “They are in satisfactory condition at the moment, [and] we will start discharging [them] as of tomorrow [i.e. Sunday].”

He noted, however, that it is still not clear what had poisoned these children.

As reported earlier, dozens of cases of mass poisoning have been recorded throughout Armenia between Wednesday and Friday.

The experts are still trying to determine the causes.

Criminal cases have already been filed on several of these cases.
