As it is known recently the recurrent murdeer was registered in
Moscow. This time the victim was Armenian teenager Arthur
Martirosyan. The corpse of the 16-year-old Arthur Martirosyan was
found on January 19 at 45, Kastanevskaya Street.

Arthur was registered in Tomilino. Since 2003 the seventh-former lived
in a rented flat in Moscow. A criminal case has been launched in
compliance with Article 105 of the Russian Criminal Code. Attorney
Simon Tsaturyan told Radiolur that there at this point there is no
novelty in the case.

`The crime is not disclosed, there are even no suspects. The motives
of this crime need serious investigation, since the information we
possess in very controversial. There is no fact to prove that the
crime was committed on the nationality basis, but it is not ruled out,
the version of robbery is not excluded, either, since Arthur’s
expensive cell phone was stolen. In any case the investigation
continues,’ said the attorney.

It should be noted that tomorrow the `Sargis Tkhruni’ student-youth
union of the Social-Democratic Hnchakian Party plans to organize a
peace demonstration in front of the Russian Embassy connected with the
murder of 16-year-old Arthur Martirosyan and other cases registered in
Russia.

The young people say in their statement that Arthur’s murder proved
once again that the security of citizens of the Russian Federation and
foreign guests is not guaranteed.

Therefore, they call to unite and raise a voice of protest against the
xenophobia in Russia, against intolerance and fascism.
