Two years after a village mayor affiliated with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) was shot dead in broad daylight, law-enforcement authorities have not identified those responsible for what his relatives and friends consider a politically motivated crime.
Hrach Muradian was gunned down outside his office in Proshian, a big village just west of Yerevan, on April 2, 2013. A local resident was arrested in the following days on charges of carrying out the killing. The suspect, who strongly denied the accusation, was set free for lack of evidence ten months later.
Muradian's family also questioned his alleged involvement, saying that other, more influential individuals were involved in the high-profile killing. Some family members have repeatedly alleged a high-level cover-up of the crime.
