ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party sees no reason why Armenia should officially
demand Russia's apologies for the murderer-soldier's actions, Head
of ARFD parliamentary faction Armen Rustamyan said.
"If a non-Russian commits such crimes in Russia, Russians start
slamming "the persons from the Caucasus" and labeling them. We are
trying to combat that phenomenon. In this case, we should not make
the same mistakes", he said.
In the meantime, he is convinced that this incident makes people
consider the problematic aspects, including the domestic discipline of
the Russian military base. "A serviceman should not have an opportunity
to leave his post and the territory of the base with weapons that
easily and simply. What has happened is a shame for any country",
said Rustamyan.
When asked if the Russian soldier may fail to be transferred to
Armenia, Rustamyan pointed out that these procedures are regulated
by relevant agreements on extradition and this case is no exception.
As was reported earlier, on Jan 12 in Gyumri, Permyakov left his post.
He penetrated into the house of the Avetisyans and shot all the 6
members of the family dead. Only their 6-month-old baby has survived.
The soldier left his uniform and gun at the scene. He escaped wearing
casual clothing. Following a daylong search, he was detained near
Bayandur village on the Armenian-Turkish border.
