After the explosion in the Surmalu shopping center on August 14 this year, slanderous materials appeared in social networks and in some media that the explosion in the shopping center was organized by MP Khachatur Sukiasyan and his family members, Khachatur Sukiasyan, an MP from the ruling party Civil Contract wrote on his Facebook page.

He, in particular, noted։

"Some users of social networks, as well as fake accounts started an organized campaign against Sukiasyan with similar content. All this is done for political purposes and by a specific order to sow hatred against the Sukiasyans and to tarnish their good reputation.

Since the abovementioned information, besides being a blatant lie, also contains signs of an obvious crime, our family is falsely accused of committing a grave crime, we hope that the law enforcement bodies will find and bring to justice those guilty, preventing a repeat of such a vile act against our family or others in the future.

We offer our condolences to the relatives of the victims."
