The residents of Gyumri have given 24 hours to the Russian command
for transferring Russian soldier Valery Permyakov to the Armenian
law-enforcement bodies.
According to Levon Barseghyan, head of the Journalists' Club "Asparez",
one of the organizers of the rally near the Russian military base,
the command must take a decision before Jan 15, 5 pm, to transfer
Permyakov to Armenian justice. The further steps of the demonstrators
will depend on the Russian party's response.
Valery Permyakov was detained on the day of the murder near Bayandur
village on the Armenian-Turkish border. On Jan 14, the Armenian
Prosecutor General's Office reported that the issue of transfer of
Permyakov to the Armenian party was not discussed and this prompted
public protests. At the same time, the criminal case is being
investigated by the two countries' law-enforcement agencies. Armenia
promises to be consistent to bring the culprit to responsibility with
the utmost rigour of the law.
