The demonstrators refuse to leave the territory of the Russian military
base in Gyumri. Thousands of people are taking part in the action
of protest and their number is constantly growing. The demonstrators
demand that the command of the military base should transfer soldier
Valery Permyakov to the Armenian law-enforcement bodies. To recall,
Permyakov murdered a family of six in Gyumri on Jan 12.
Raffi Aslanyan, Prosecutor of Shirak region, tried to persuade the
demonstrators to leave the territory of the military base and to hold
the action of protest near the building of the Prosecutor's Office,
however, the residents of Gyumri refused to do that. They promised
to stay there and to organize a sit-down action if necessary.
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 Armenia was not discussed. 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.
