YEREVAN. – The man who was attempting to set himself on fire in front of the Armenian government building claimed to have done business but was deceived.

"They deceived me, I did business, I paid taxes and dues, and, eventually, the banks deceived," he told reporters today. “Former police officers, including the prosecutors, there is a ‘monster’ named Hrach Grigoryan, who was ‘untouchable;’ they couldn’t [do anything] on that man."

Subsequently, the police took him to the police station in a police car.
