Prosecutor General given 22 hours
Armenia’s Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan has been given 22 hours to arranged the handover of Valery Permyakov, a Russian soldier accused of murdering a six-member family in Gyumri to Armenian law-enforcement bodies. The protesters decided to gather near the Prosecutor’s Office of Shirak province tomorrow after the funeral of the six members of the Avetisyan family. Six members of the Avetisyan family in Gyumri, including a small little child, were brutally murdered on Monday morning. Seryozha Avetisyan, his wife Hasmik, daughter Aida, son Armen, daughter-in-law Araksya, and two-year-old granddaughter Hasmik, were found killed, when a relative-neighbor came to the house for morning coffee. A six-month-old infant, the only survivor of the brutal murder, was hospitalized with severe stab wounds in his chest. Valery Permyakov, the Russian soldier suspected of the killing, was detained on the same day when attempting to cross the border with Turkey. Permyakov had served at Russian military base N 102 in Gyumri. Today, Permyakov has been accused of murder under Article 104 of the Armenian Criminal Code.
