Another shooting…. ( really)
It’s another one of those again, without wishing to trivialise the death of individuals, it seems that these “tit for tat” killings are becoming an almost monthly occurence. This time 3 men were killed in a cemetry, 33 year old Artavazd Vartanian was reportedly shot at his own father’s grave today. His father was also assassinated in 2006.
It is the latest in a string of “mafia” style killings where perpetatrators seem above the law and will unlikely be punished. This gives me less concern for the whole thing if I’m completely honest. Here in the UK a story hit the news today about a group of men who kept a disabled man prisoner and abused him for 4 months without anyone realising…. If Armenia’s wealthy businessmen want to go around killing each other, then so be it, let them do it, but don’t disturb my sleep with your aimless gunshots.
This is of course my subjective opinion.
Good point. As long as the innocent are unharmed, let the gangsters murder each other until there are none left and they are forgotten. Those scumbags are dragging Armenia down and are an embarassment to the Armenian people.

Unfortunately, the past few assassinations and shootouts have resulted in the deaths of innocent bystanders. The most recent casualty might even be a 12-year-old boy.
