During the fire that broke out near the sport-concert complex in Yerevan, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Armenia Arayik Harutyunyan told reporters that he had come to the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute because he was interested in which direction the fire was spreading.

“It was actually a large fire. I mainly came to see if anything had happened to the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute because I was interested in which direction the fire was spreading. The materials needed to be protected,” Arayik Harutyunyan said, after which Minister of Emergency Situations Feliks Tsolakyan opposed and said all citizens need to be interested in everything.
