YEREVAN, January 14, /ARKA/ Armenia's prosecutor general Gevorg
Kostanyan said today he will travel tomorrow to Gyumri to tell
its residents about the pace of investigation into the murder of a
six-member family, adding that the guilty will be brought to justice
in Armenia.
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.
"Tomorrow at 10 am I'll be in Gyumri and will present to its residents
the whole procedure. Our goal is to bring the perpetrator to justice",
Kostanyan told reporters.
"I am sure that the criminal will be prosecuted in the territory of the
Republic of Armenia, and we will all be able to follow the process,>>
he added.
In comments of statements that Armenia has conceded the investigation
of the crime to the Russian side , Kostanyan said that "Armenia does
not concede anything to anyone."
"Tomorrow you will see the active actions of the Armenian law
enforcement agencies that will demonstrate the determination of the
Republic of Armenia to prosecute any person who has committed an
assault against a citizen of Armenia", he said.
Armenia's Office of the Prosecutor-General announced yesterday
that Permyakov will not be handed over to Armenian law-enforcement
authorities pending investigation. In a statement, it said that
Russia's constitution prohibits the extradition of Russian citizens
to foreign states. The statement also said that Russian and Armenian
law-enforcement bodies are making a joint probe of the killings.
A spokeswoman for Armenia's State Investigative Committee (SIC) Sona
Truzyan said today that SIC has decided to prosecute Permyakov for
the killing of more than two people.-0-
