    Man Arrested in Armenia Ordered to Stand Trial on Murder Charge

    VAN NUYS

    A man returned last year from his native Armenia was ordered today to
    stand trial for murder.

    Van Nuys Superior Court Judge Meredith Taylor found sufficient
    evidence to require Akop Akopyan, 33, to stand trial for the Sept. 4,
    2000, slaying of Garnik Madoyan in North Hollywood.

    Akopyan allegedly argued with the victim before shooting him and
    fleeing in a white Jeep Cherokee driven by someone else.

    Akopyan was arrested last Aug. 12 in Yerevan and turned over to the
    FBI last November.

    He is due back in court Aug. 9 for arraignment.
