The family of pro-European Union activist Sergei Nigoyan, who has
been killed during protests on Hrushevsky Street in Kyiv, moved to
Ukraine from Nagorno-Karabakh in 1992, escaping from the then war in
Azerbaijan's disputed Armenian-speaking enclave.
Sergei's father, Garegin Nigoyan, told reporters he had tried to
dissuade Sergei from going to Kyiv to join the protesters but his son
"had his own way."
The activist's family lives in the village of Bereznovativka,
Dnipropetrovsk region. Sergei was "a calm, well-bred, normal guy,"
a fellow villager said. "He'd always help you, would carry your bag
for you, he was friendly, courteous."
Sergei was a student at a physical education college in
Dniprodzerzhynsk, Dnipropetrovsk region.
Law enforcement officials had a meeting with his family on Wednesday.
The Foreign Ministry of Armenia confirmed that Sergei, who was an
ethnic Armenian, was a Ukrainian citizen.
