GYUMRI (Armenpress) ”” A requiem and candle-lighting ceremony was held at St. Mary Church of Gyumri on January 12 in memory of the members of the Avetisyans’ family murdered on January 12 of last year. Relatives of the family of Avetisyans, as well as many Gyumri citizens arrived at the church to pay their respects.

The candle lighting ceremony was held in the backyard of the church following the requiem. Following a year since the murders, citizens of Gyumri are still unsure whether justice will be served in the murder case.
