Co-President of the Armenian Rowing Federation Levon Ghazaryan was killed by unknown assailants on March 4. He received a gunshot wound in a skirmish near the Nubarashen  Nubarashen penitentiary in Yerevan on Wednesday and died on the way to a hospital.

The criminals were wearing masks and fled the incident shortly afterwards. Levon Ghazaryan was appointed Co-President of the Armenian Rowing Federation in 2012 after President Hrachya Khudoyan submitted a resignation due to health problems.

Three people were killed in a shoot-out near the Nubarashen Prison on Wednesday afternoon. They have been  identified as Levon Ghazaryan, 43, Drastamat Tadevosyan, 35, and Mesrop Melikyan.
