In its previous issue, « Hetq » had published an article about a murder that took place in the town of Etchmiadzin. On March 13th, 23 year-old Sepuh Karapetyan was killed. According to our sources, Zarzand Saroyan, the son of National Assembly Deputy General Seyran Saroyan, committed the crime.

There were nine people on the scene when the murder took place including Firdus Saroyan, the father of General Saroyan. The Public Relations Division of the Police today reported that it had arrested Arayik Saroyan and had charged him with violating Article 104 (premeditated murder) of the ROA Criminal Code.

We have yet failed to verify whether Arayik Saroyan, the grandchild of Firdus Saroyan’s uncle, was present at the scene of the crime.
