A Russian soldier accused of murdering seven members of an Armenian
family will be court martialled in a Russian military base, local
media reported Monday.
Competent Armenian and Russian authorities made the decision to try
Valery Permyakov within the framework of a bilateral agreement on
the 102nd military base in Gyumri, Armenia's second largest city,
according to the Panorama news portal.
A joint investigative group is working on an indictment that
corresponds to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the report
said.
In addition, materials collected by Armenian investigators will
be handed over to the Russian side for attaching the case to armed
desertion and mass murder.
On Jan. 12, Permyakov deserted from the Russian military base and
killed seven members of an Armenian family in Gyumri, including a
six-month-old baby.
After the cruel mass murder, the conscript was captured at the
Armenian border when he was trying to flee to Turkey. Under Russian
law, he could face a maximum punishment of life in prison if convicted.
