The number of the killed in March 1 Yerevan riots has not increased. 8 people, including 1 policeman, were killed, said Sona Truzyan, a spokesperson for the RA general prosecutor's office.

There were no deaths on March 1 morning when the opposition rally was dispersed in Liberty Square. During the March 1 and 2 disorders 180 policemen and 48 civilians were injured.

The initiators of the unauthorized rallies provided people with false information with the purpose to destabilize the republic.
