An action of protest will be held outside the Prosecutor General's
Office in Yerevan at 4:00pm local time on February 12. The action
initiators demand Valery Permyakov's transfer to the law- enforcement
of Armenia. They demand Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan to
make public his Russia counterpart's response to the petition for
Permyakov's transfer to the country's law-enforcement. The activists
will demand the prosecutor general to give guarantees that Permyakov
will stand trial within the Armenian laws in line with the legal
categories and the international regulatory acts, and not the
Constitution of the other country, namely Russia.
A family of six was killed by Russian soldier Valery Permyakov in
Gyumri on Jan 12. The only survivor, six-month-old Seryozha Avetisyan,
who received stab wounds, died in hospital on Jan 19. On 14 January
Armenian Prosecutor General's Office reported that they did not
discuss the issue of handing over of Permyakov to the Armenian party,
as according to the Russian legislation, a Russian citizen cannot be
handed over to another country. But after numerous protest actions
near the 102-nd Russian military base in Gyumri and the meeting at the
president's residence, Armenia's Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan
said that the investigation of the case will be held according to the
legislation of Armenia and Russia through comparing the legislative
acts of the two countries. He emphasized that the criminal will
be imprisoned at the territory of Armenia and the process will be
transparent in order to avoid public resonance.
