MOSCOW, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS: Two ethnic Armenians have been shot in
Moscow on Saturday night, Russian news agencies reported. One of the
men died, the other received injuries.
Moscow police have arrested a 52 year-old driver of a meat factory near
Moscow who is suspected on shooting and killing one of the Armenians
and heavily wounding the other. Police said the suspect killed the
Armenian by a rare model of pistol with a silencer.
In late April, a young Armenian man was killed by a group of youngsters
at Moscow’s central metro station. The 17-year-old Vahan Abramyants,
a student of a Moscow university, was standing on the platform with
several friends, when a group of shaved young men dressed in black
attacked them. The attackers looked like skinheads, members of radical
nationalistic movement.
Another 19 year old Armenian, Arthur Sardarian was stabbed to death
by a group of rampaging youths on a train in a Moscow suburb. Arthur
Sardarian, 19, was the sixth ethnic Armenian killed in Russia this
year.
