Hratch Mouradian
The head of Proshian village was a long-time ARF member
YEREVAN-The body of Hratch Mouradyan, the head of the Proshian village
in the Kotayk region of Armenia was found Tuesday in front the village
municipal headquarters by his brother.
Mouradian, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and an
Artsakh War hero was reportedly gunned down as he was headed to his
job and suffered injuries on his right temple.
Mouradian had an exemplary career from the onset of the Karabakh
liberation movement until its end. He was awarded the Military Cross
and several medals for his service to his country and heroism on the
battlefield in Artsakh.
Police reported that shrapnel from a bullet was recovered from the
50-year-old village leader during preliminary forensic investigation
by the medical examiner. To identify the make and caliber of the
weapon used to shoot Mouradyan an investigative task force has been
assigned by the prosecutor's office.
The head of Nairi unit of the Armenian Police Force, Arsen Sargsyan
told reporters that a criminal investigation was underway.
"At this time, we do not know what type of weapon was used and a
criminal investigation has been launched to determine the motive and
other facts about Mouradian's murder," said Sargsyan, who did not
reveal more information to reporters.
The ARF Supreme Council of Armenia issued an announcement, in which
it called the killing a "pre-meditated and planned killing."
"Regardless of who the culprits are, it is evident that the crime
occurred in an atmosphere of impunity and lawlessness," said the
Supreme Council announcement.
Mouradian served as the head of the village since 2005 and enjoyed
the support and popularity of his villagers, which, according to the
ARF Supreme Council of Armenia, had made certain circles unhappy.
The announcement stated that during his tenure, efforts were always
made to destabilize his administration of the village.
"In condemning this crime, the ARF demands the quick and complete
revelation of the crime and due punishment for those responsible,"
said the announcement.
