RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR SAYS GYUMRI KILLINGS MUST NOT BE POLITICIZED
YEREVAN, January 14. / ARKA /. Russian ambassador to Armenia Ivan
Volynkin said today he is sure that Armenian and Russian investigators
will clarify all the circumstances of the murdering six members of
an Armenian family in Gyumri by a runaway soldier from the Russian
military base in the town adding also that the case must not be
politicized.
According to police, Valery Permyakov from the Russian military base in
Gyumri admitted to murdering the six members of the family- a couple,
their son and daughter-in-law, a 2-year-old granddaughter, and an
unmarried daughter. They all were found shot dead in their house on
January 12. The couple's six-month-old grandson was hospitalized in
a grave condition. The victims were all shot with an AK-47. Valery
Permyakov was detained on January 13, shortly after midnight, while
trying to cross the border into Turkey dressed in civilian clothing.
"The embassy personnel are shocked by this terrible tragedy in Gyumri.
We grieve together with the Armenian people and express our condolences
to the friends and relatives of the victims. The perpetrators of this
horrible crime must be punished to the full extent of law. Currently,
competent Armenian and Russian officials are conducting the
necessary investigation procedures for an objective and comprehensive
investigation of the crime," the ambassador told Sputnik Radio.
Thousands of Armenians will be protesting January 15 in front of
the Russian embassy in Armenia, the presidential residence and in
Gyumri demanding that Valery Permyakov be handed over to Armenian
law-enforcement bodies.
"I understand these people, their emotions, because a brutal crime was
committed and the perpetrator must answer for it. People, of course,
have the right to express their opinions, their emotions. But I think
that this issue should not be politicized," said Ivan Volynkin.
"Crime has no nationality, especially in this case. I think that
the investigation will clear out all the nuances of the case and the
criminal will be adequately punished," he concluded. -0-
