Two citizens of the Republic of Armenia – Hasmik Melkumyan (born 1973)
and Levon Khachatryan (born 1982) were among the victims of blast in
Moscow subway, acting spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Tigran Balayan informed.
Another man of Armenian origin – Hamik Martirosyan (1992) was taken
to #36 Moscow hospital.
At least 40 were killed and 37 were wounded on Monday when suicide
bombers detonated explosives on two packed Moscow metro trains during
the morning rush hour, the worst attack in the Russian capital for
six years.
According to Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, the Russian Federal Security
Service blames the blasts on the Moscow metro on women suicide
bombers. Reports say the explosions were planned to hit as many
victims as possible.
