has been solved, Rustavi 2 reported.

groups, which operated in 1990s, has been revealed.
Three members of the group have been detained, three others are wanted
and one of them died few years ago.
The group members were aware that Nshan Minansian was rich and
therefore, with the intent of money extortion they kidnapped his 19
year old son, Vazgen Minasian on January 18, 1994 demanding a ransom
of USD 150 000. Criminals kept the hostage in a hole for 10 days and
afterwards he was taken to one of the apartments in Dighomi district.

in few days.
However under the fear to be disclosed members of the criminal group
murdered Nshan Minasian, his wife, Flora Minasian and their son
Vazgen Minasian.
