KILLED WITH BAGHDASAROV’S WEAPON?

“For 5 years I have been uselessly knocking at hundreds of doors. No one is concerned about my daughter’s murder”, Norvard Mouradian told A1+.
Lilit Avetissian, Ms. Mouradian’s 23 year-old daughter was killed on November 30, 2003. She was shot at her doorstep in 28 Bldg., District 16, while coming back from the exhibition “Armenian National Costume in Modern Colours”. “I found my daughter’s corpse at my doorstep with a flower bouquet in one hand and an embroidered bag in the other”, recounts Norvard Mouradian. The Procurator’s Office of Achapnyak and Davitashen Districts instituted case proceeding against the murder and illegal use of weapon on December 1, 2003. Investigation proved the weapon was not registered in Armenia’s arms storage and the proceeding was suspended with the following excuse: “Defendant is unknown.”
Though the weapon is not registered Ms. Mouradian is in no doubt about its owner. “Everybody in the Ministry of Justice knows the owner and they want to cover up the tracks of my daughter’s murder.” Today Ms. Mouradian was at the Prosecutor’s Office with a demand to resume her daughter’s case.
Norvard Mouradian noted that political figures, especially the OYP, had made use of her daughter’s murder in pre-election period. “Mher Shahgeldian is well-aware of this case but their party only made use of it in pre-election period trying to get votes.” Ms. Mouradian didn’t specify how OYP had made use of her grief and only noticed they had promised to resume her daughter’s case. She has been trying to uncover her daughter’s murder herself and has somewhat succeeded, she considers. “My daughter’s assassination was ordered by a Raya Margarian and the weapon owner is Mika Baghdasarov who gave it to Raya Margarian’s friend as a gift. Raya Margarian is a relative of some political figure and my request to the present authorities is to find out who Raya Margarian is. At the Prosecutor’s Office they impudently tell me there are 400 unrevealed cases at present and my daughter’s case will be one of them.”
Norvard Mouradian declares she is responsible for all her words and if the law-enforcement bodies are willing to listen to her she could give even further details. “They say Gurgen Margarian was killed by a Turk. And who killed my daughter? I am sure the weapon belongs to Baghdasarov and it is the job of law-enforcement bodies to find out how it came to Raya Margarian”. As a help to the law-enforcement bodies Ms. Mouradian assumes: “The daughter of Doctor Hunan, a doctor in Ashotavan village, Sisian is on familiar terms with Baghdasarov’s family and my daughter was killed with Baghdasarov’s weapon given to Doctor Hunan’s daughter as a gift. The latter has passed the weapon to Raya Margarian. I am ready to give further details to the law-enforcement bodies, in case they are interested.”
