    MURDERED IN MOSCOW

    YEREVAN, July 19. /ARKA/. Cheremushka interregional prosecutor's
    office of Moscow instituted proceedings about the murder of Pail
    Piloyan, the Editor in Chief of Armenian Lane Russian-language
    journal, according to NezavisimayaGazeta writing that the body of the
    reporter with wounds in stomach caused by a knife and signs of
    beating was found by Moscow police on Saturday in the district of the
    43rd km of Moscow Circular Highway (MCH). According to Moscow Home
    Administrative Department, the corpse of Piloyan was discovered at 7
    a.m. on Saturday on the outer side of MCH near the pedestrian
    crossing in the region of Tepli Stan. Experts-specialist in crime
    detection found out that the reporter was killed at about 2 a.m.: the
    wound caused by a knife was fatal. Operative -investigating group at
    the head of Alexander Krokhmal, the Chief Deputy Prosecutor from
    Moscow prosecutor's office went to the place of murder. The staff of
    the prosecutor's office is not hurrying with making conclusions
    regarding the motives of the murder of 37 year old reporter.
    The administration of the Armenian Embassy in Russia also makes no
    assumptions about the motives. The Press Secretary of the Armenian
    diplomatic mission in Moscow Armen Ghevondyan expressed his
    condolences about the murder of the Editor in Chief of Armenian Lane
    journal and stated that `the Armenian Embassy together with
    law-enforcing structures of Russia takes all measures to find out the
    details of the murder of Pail Piloyan'. According to him, when the
    representatives of RF Ministry of Internal Affairs sends official
    note of the death of the reporter and the circumstances of the death,
    `the Embassy will use the whole mechanism: send condolences, possibly
    return the body to Armenia, and consular service will begin set to
    its work'.
    Meanwhile, according to the sources of Nezavisimaya Gazeta in Moscow
    police station, the version that the murder of Piloyan is connected
    with his professional work is not the main one. Armenian Lane is a
    belles-lettres in Russian telling about the Armenian literature and
    cultural values. The criminalsts consider some versions of the murder
    of Piloyan, among which is the murder because of the so-called
    everyday life reasons, as well as murder on the base of national
    dislike. A.H. - 0 -
