ArmInfo. The State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Armenia does not comment on the report about the passage of a truck through the Armenian-Georgian border, which  exploded on the Crimean bridge on October 8. This was reported to  ArmInfo in the State Revenue Committee.

"The State Revenue Committee has not yet received an official  statement regarding the message issued by the authorities of the  Russian Federation. Therefore, the Committee cannot make any  comments," the message says.

Earlier today, ArmInfo, citing the press service of the Kremlin,  reported that Armenia was one of the destinations of the truck that  exploded on the Crimean bridge. At a meeting with Russian President  Vladimir Putin, Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the  Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin said that the route of the  truck where the explosion had already been established was Bulgaria,  Georgia, Armenia, North Ossetia, Krasnodar Territory. With the help  of FSS operatives, it was possible to identify suspects from among  those who could prepare a terrorist attack, and people who operate on  the territory of the Russian Federation. Alexander Bastrykin added  that the special services of Ukraine, citizens of Russia and foreign  countries were involved in the attack.  On the morning of October 8,  a truck exploded on the automobile part of the Crimean bridge, after  which fuel tanks caught fire. Two spans of the structure collapsed.  The investigative committee reported that the truck that exploded on  the Crimean bridge belongs to a resident of the Krasnodar region.  Investigations have been launched at his place of residence.  Investigators are studying the route of the car.  Komsomolskaya  Pravda reports that the explosive was placed in rolls on the  territory of Bulgaria. At first, the cargo was delivered by sea to  the port of Poti in Georgia, from there to Armenia, where customs  clearance took place according to the rules of the Customs Union.  Then the cargo again drove into Georgia, and from it - to the  territory of the Russian Federation through the Upper y Lars  checkpoint.  According to preliminary data, three people died in the  explosion. Car traffic on the undamaged part of the Crimean bridge  partially resumed by 16:00 on October 8.
