Reports of bombs planted at polling stations false - RA Ministry of  Interior

ArmInfo. Throughout the day, Armenian citizens received calls and messages from foreign phone numbers and email addresses spreading false information about alleged bombs planted at some polling stations. Law enforcement agencies took action to determine that the reports were false, according to a statement from the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs press service.

We call on citizens  not to succumb to misinformation, not to spread unverified  information, and to immediately report such reports to law  enforcement agencies," the Ministry of Internal Affairs said in a  statement.
