Demand of RA citizens is legal: Russian politician
“When Anti-Maidan Kremlin movement recognizes Permyakov, charged with the murder of an Armenian family in Gyumri, as prisoner of conscience, what does it count on, on love of Armenian people or that citizens of the RA will curse Russians? It seems like Kremlin provocateurs count on the second and Kremlin is silently following them,”- Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov wrote on Facebook. Politician reminds that a decree of mutual legal assistance and jurisdictional issues operates with Russian military base stationed in the Republic of Armenia, which was signed still in 1997. The 4th article of the decree states that Russian soldier Valeri Permyakov, charged with the murder of 6 members of an Armenian family, must be handed over to the jurisdiction of Armenia, so the demand of Yerevan and Gyumri residents is legal. “Permyakov isn’t handed over and he is called prisoner of conscience… And then we wonder why all hate us,”- summed up Boris Nemtsov.
