One of the stores, located in Abovyan town and known as “Chechen’s store” was closed today without any motivation. Broken windows of the store drew one’s attention. Witnesses tell that the incident took place yesterday, some unknown people tried to burn the store as a mark of revenge.

The police department of Kotayk region informed that Vahagn H., born in 1981, Robert V., born in 1980, and Gevorg Stepanyan, born in 1971, were taken to hospital on 18 December wounded from a gun-fire. Gevorg Stepanyan died at hospital.

The circumstances of the criminal case are investigated. Other details are not informed.

According to our sources, 36-year-old Gevorg Stepanyan was an innocent victim. The latter was dining on the day of the incident when his friends asked him to join them in the skirmish.

While clarifying some questions, one of the parties took out the gun and shot. The fire was directed on 26-year-old Vahagn, who is known in Abovyan with “Zub” nickname, but the bullet wounded Gevorg. Abovyan citizens ensure that the perpetrator of the crime was the owner of numerous stores in Abovyan Vardan with “Chechen” nickname. Nobody knows where Vardan is hiding now. According to Abovyan citizens, this incident was the result of Vardan’s last straw. According to one version, Zub demanded “taxes” from Vardan, who refused to pay.

“They will not catch Vardan until the latter kills Zub, otherwise Zub will kill Vardan when he recovers. They cannot arrest a man who has much money. Besides Zub’s band does not know any limits. It smells bad”, tells a grandfather from Abovyan.
