/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Lawyer of the family of Vahan Abramyants, 17,
killed in Moscow metro, denies the version of murder, based on
everyday circumstances.
“”We flatly deny the version of murder of Abramyants, based on everyday
circumstances, as we believe the crime was committed on ethnic
ground,” Simon Tsaturyan said at a news conference in Moscow. He
reported that along with the killed young man’s father he met with
Moscow metro Prosecutor, “we solved all formal matter and Vahan’s
father was unconditionally recognized as aggrieved party.”
Tsaturyan also reported that the prosecutor’s office has instituted
criminal proceeding according to part 2 of article 105 of the
Russian Criminal Code (murder committed as a member of a group of
two and more persons), with qualifying signs of racial and national
dislike. “However, it is not clear, why witnesses of the crime gave
evidence in the militia and not at the prosecutor’s office,” Simon
Tsaturyan said. He said he was sure the investigation conceals the
video cassette with the record of the crime.
Characterizing the victim, V. Abramyants, Tsaturyan called him a
well-bred, calm young person, “and he could never behave in the way,
as some people tried to present he allegedly was,” reports Interfax.
