THE RELATIVES OF THE AMERICAN MURDERED IN ARMENIA ARE IN PANIC
Support A1+!American specialist Joshua Haglund had been teaching in the Foreign Languages University after Valeri Bryusov within language program of USA Secretary of State since last September. On May 17 Haglund was murdered in his apartment in Yerevan. His corpse was found in the courtyard of the building where he appeared while pursuing those having stabbed him.
Joshua’s mother and two brothers have held a press conference in “Armenia Now” Information Centre. Together with other sons Joshua’s mother arrived in Armenia since they are alarmed for neglect over disclosure of the murder. USA Embassy and Police keep silence.
According to the rumours spread, Joshua’s office period in Armenia was expiring and on the eve of returning to the homeland he was killed since he had been an agent of Central Investigation Agency of USA. There are other versions regarding murder because of jealousy or personal relations. The relatives of the murdered man announce that he was of untraditional sexual orientation.
They also informed they had met Armenian General Prosecutor and USA Ambassador to Armenia who had assured that disclosure of murder was prior. We asked if the relatives of the murdered person didn’t trust USA Embassy to Armenia. They said they did but they had arrived in Armenia in person to support disclosing of the crime, to study at the scene what in fact could have happened with their relative.
Joshua’s relatives have met his friends, students and intimate persons. But the relatives didn’t wish to release any information to journalists what they had learnt after various meetings.
At the press conference the relatives asked journalists to provide them any kind of information.
