Activists in Gyumri to hand over 'present' to Russian Prosecutor General
A group of citizens of Armenian’s second largest city of Gyumri are going to stage a protest action outside the outside the Russian consulate in the city, demanding handover of Valery Permyakov, the Russian soldier accused of killing a seven-member family in Gyumri, to Armenian law enforcement authorities. During the protest, the group will hand over consulate representatives a ‘present’ for Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika. The group has left a post on their Facebook account which reads in part, “Mr Chaika, “Please accept this gift as a token of friendship between the two countries, fill your inactivity or respond to the letter of your Armenian counterpart. Any wrong step can strain the friendly relations between Armenia and Russia.”
