Police Again Refuse To Prosecute Tycoon Over Restaurant Death

The Armenian police have reaffirmed their refusal to prosecute businessman Ruben Hayrapetian in connection with a deadly assault at a Yerevan restaurant owned by him, a lawyer said on Wednesday.

The two lawyers representing the family of Vahe Avetian, a military doctor who was beaten to death at the Harsnakar restaurant on June 17, petitioned police investigators to formally treat the influential tycoon as a suspect in the high-profile case.

One of the attorneys, Tigran Yegorian, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) that the petition has been rejected. He said the investigators have also refused to transcribe Hayrapetian's phone conversations during the incident that were recorded by mobile phone operators.
