Unknown people threw a grenade into the territory of the house of the second Armenian president Robert Kocharian, said the Armenian police.
An operative group arrived at the scene and found the grenade was for training. Kocharyan himself was out.
Note that Kocharyan actually criticizes the rule of his former friend, the current president Serzh Sargsyan. He also refused to express solidarity with him on the days of aggravation of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh in early April. This caused a wave of criticism and rumors that Kocharyan intends to return to politics and again fight for power. -02D-
