Rescue workers were working to pull people out of the rubble, Levon Sardaryan, a spokesman for the Yerevan mayor, told The Associated Press news agency.
Maria Titizian, a journalist based in Yerevan, said the market building has crashed and is still burning. The casualty figures are expected to increase, she said.
