Young Armenian Brutally Killed in Moscow
Ethnic Armenian Artur Sardaryan, 19, is killed in Moscow. He was attacked in a Moscow electric train near Klyazma station on May 25. However, it was known about the incident only now. Two persons, who attacked him, stabbed him with a knife in his neck from behind, cutting carotid artery, then stabbed 5 times in his chest in the heart area. Then they stopped the train by means of the emergency brake and fled. In the words of lawyer Simon Tsaturyan, those attacking were crying out "Long live Russia!". With the help of witnesses law-enforcement bodies composed photofits of those, who attacked.

Artur Sardaryan was born in Baku. He moved to Moscow in 1989 - after mass pogroms of Armenians in Azerbaijan. Lawyer Simon Tsaturyan is dealing with another case of murder of an Armenian in a Moscow metro. Skinheads had slaughtered Armenian Vigen Abrahamyans in the vestibule of Pushkinskaya metro station.
