Details on the murder of a young Armenian in Marseille
“EUArmenia TV” company Director Arman Avagyan has presented details on his Facebook page on a young Armenian killed in Marseille: According to the recent reliable information, the criminals killed Micha- Michael Asaturyan, near lycée Camille Jullian in the 12th district of Marseille. He was stabbed on leaving the lycee. He died in the arms of his brother, who was waiting for him outdoors, but before he reached, his brother had fallen with stab wounds. At that moment there was a clash but the criminals ran away. Everything started earlier in the sports ground of the lycee during basketball play. There was a simple quarrel between the young people, Micha was offended and a girl threatened that she would call her relatives and they would kill him. Tall and burly young Armenian man managed to warn his brother, who came to the school for security and waited for him in front of the school together with his friend. The incident happened at 16:05, but Ambulance arrived after the police, half an hour later after calling for three times. They didn’t manage to save the life of the young man. Most likely the criminals are young people with Arabic origin, who still haven’t been detained. Pro-Armenian French Deputy Valeri Buaye, who immediately went on the scene, thinks that this cruel murder isn’t connected with the events of Charlie Hebdo, but “All kinds of barbarism must be fought against with measured severity.” Armenian community is in shock. Many people know and respect Micha’s family. His father is Armenian and always keeps in touch with Armenia by visiting the homeland very often. Today in the evening Armenians of Marseille have organized a mourning gathering in Armenian Apostolic Church of Prado.
