ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF UKRAINE NEVER CALLED TO REVENGE FOR SERGEY NIGOYAN
19:29, 23 January, 2014
YEREVAN, JANUARY 22, ARMENPRESS. Two days after the death of Armenian
activist Sergey Nigoyan during the clashes in Kiev, a note appeared in
Facebook social network asserting that the Armenian community starts
hunting the murderer. As reports "Armenpress" citing Komsomolskaya
Pravda ("Komsomol Truth"), the note stated that the Armenian community
of Ukraine targets to find the man, who is responsible for Sergey's
death, and as if it was suggested to call the operation Nemesis II.
The note was made by Mikayel Karapetyan (resident in Kiev), who stated
that he had already removed the note, as it was distorted. "I was just
very grieved at the murder of my compatriot and I wrote that I want
the murderers to be found. But there was nothing about 'hunting',"
Mikayel noted. In addition Karapetyan underscored that there could
be people, who tried to use his words for their own goals.
The Union of Armenians of Ukraine also stated that they do not have
and don't want to have anything in common with such calls.
The Executive Director of the Union of Armenians of Ukraine Ashot
Marutyan underscored: "We have sent a query to the Ministry of Internal
Affairs telling them to find the circumstances of Sergey Nigoyan's
death. We are out of politics and want an objective examination."
Previously it was reported that the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia
to Ukraine confirmed the news on death of Armenian Sergey Nikoyan
in Kiev. "The Ukrainian Truth" newspaper stated citing its sources
that the protestor, who died during the clashes in Grushevsky Street,
was an Armenian. Among other things the newspaper reported that he
was one of Euromaidan's activists and died because of the gunshot
wounds he received in the area of his neck and head.
Violent clashes between anti-government protesters and police continued
in the center of Ukraine's capital, Kiev, overnight into Tuesday.
Demonstrators have been rallying since the weekend in defiance of
new laws that limit the right to protest.
The Interior Ministry said Tuesday that more than 30 protesters had
been detained and 119 police officers injured since Sunday afternoon,
when the clashes began.
The city health care department reported 122 injured and 50
hospitalized. The number injured is probably higher, as many people
reportedly turn to medical volunteers for help rather than official
services for fear of consequences. Protest organizers said those
treated in hospitals are questioned by police and registered as
participants of mass protests, which may lead to arrest and criminal
charges.
Protesters and police have accused each other of violence.
