YEREVAN, February 4 (Itar-Tass) — A criminal case has been opened over
the murder of Armenia’s deputy police chief, Colonel Gevork Mgerian.

An unidentified attacker shot Mgerian dead on the stairway landing
in front of his apartment in a residential building in Yerevan. The

presidential aide, supervised reforms of the road police and the
legal system and led a presidential group for the monitoring of
anti-corruption activities. On July 2 last year Armenia’s president

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
