Yerevan [Armenia], July 10 (ANI/MIC Izvestia): Seven more people were detained in Armenia on suspicion of terrorism. This was reported on July 10 in the press service of the Republican Investigative Committee (IC).

"At the moment, seven people have been detained, one of whom has been charged under Part 1 of Articles 43-308 of the Criminal Code ('Preparation of terrorism')," the publication says on the agency's website.

It is specified that during large-scale investigative and procedural actions and searches, an electric detonator for remote actuation and its components, a live grenade, a detonator of a live grenade, gunpowder, radio communications equipment and other objects and objects of interest to the investigation were found.
