Persecutions Had Preceded Muradyan’s Murder

PERSECUTIONS HAD PRECEDED MURADYAN’S MURDER

Member of Supreme Body of ARF Dashnaktsutyun said today that
they want the real perpetrators of Hrach Muradyan’s murder to be
revealed. “We don’t want innocent people to be punished. After all
the real disclosure of this case may be a vote of confidence for our
system of justice”, said Aghvan Vardanyan.

Vardanyan announced the launch of “Hrach Muradyan: Demand of Justice”
civil movement. He underlined that it is not a party movement,
but civil.

Lawyer of the victim Melanya Arustamyan, added that his murder was
the last point of all persecutions and threats that had preceded
Muradyan’s death for years.

She said that one year ago Hrach Muradyan’s nephew was kidnapped and
when Muradyan went to free him, the kidnappers shot at his car. This
case has been dismissed, but even if it wasn’t the investigation was
going to prove Hrach Muradyan himself was to blame.

Asked whether it is not known who shot at Muradyan’s car, the lawyer
said it is confidential information, but it could help to reveal
his murder.

“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
