    Candle lighting initiated by Vahe Avetyan movement was held yesterday
    evening in memory of Vahe Avetyan, the military doctor beaten up to
    death in Harsnakar restaurant.

    40th day of Vahe Avetyan's death marked on August 7.

    Before the candle lighting action, the police had surrounded Harsnakar
    restaurant owned by MP Ruben Hairapetyan where his bodyguards beat
    up to death Vahe.

    Political figures, activists from different civil initiatives, parties
    and individuals were there to honor the memory of the military doctor
    and to protest against violence.

    The candle lighting was followed by a march up to Avan district
    of Yerevan where Ruben Hairapetyan's house is situated. But, the
    protesters didn't stop at his house but marched across the district.

    No clashes with the police or other incidents were reported.

    During their march in Avan, the protesters chanted "Nemets murderer".

    After the march, a small rally was held in Avan which was addressed
    by some participants who condemned the violence.
