“He was a very good man, he was a man of the people, he had no enemies, and his assassination was in no one’s interests. He respected the people, and the people respected him. He was a hard-working man, he has done a lot of things for the village: he has improved the streets, he has landscaped the village etc.,” this is what the residents of the village of Proshyan, region of Kotayk, said about Hrach Muradyan, the village headman. The assassination of the village headman is a mystery for the fellow villagers, but some of them stated one thing; Hrach Muradyan didn’t have enemies, but the assassination may be linked with the presidential election that took place in February. Since Muradyan was an honest man, as the villagers said, he didn’t tolerate fraud, and Serzh Sargsyan won in the village of Proshyan during the presidential election. By the way, it was hard for Arsen Sargsyan, the head of the investigation department of Nairi, to answer the question whether the assassination had anything to do with the election or not, he just stated that they were not engaged in politics, and the rest will be clear during the preliminary investigation.
