Armenian Tycoon Questioned In Restaurant Assault Probe

The Armenian police have interrogated businessman Ruben Hayrapetian but see no legal grounds yet to prosecute him in connection with last month's deadly assault at a Yerevan restaurant owned by him, a senior police investigator said on Tuesday.

Arsen Ayvazian, a high-ranking official from the police Inspectorate General of Criminal Investigations, said Hayrapetian was formally questioned on Friday as a potential witness in the brutal beating of three military doctors who visited the Harsnakar restaurant on June 17.

One of them, Vahe Avetian, died of severe head wounds on June 29. Six men, most of them restaurant security guards, were arrested and charged with assault following the incident that sparked public outrage.
