The tension in Gyumri is escalating with every passing minute. At
the moment, thousands of residents of Gyumri, the second largest city
in Armenia, are holding an action of protest and demand transferring
the Russian soldier Valery Permyakov to Armenian justice.
To recall, Permyakov is suspected of murdering a family of six in
Gyumri on Jan 12. On Jan 13, Permyakov admitted to the murder. The
demonstrators made their way to the building of the Russian
Consulate and then to the building of the Prosecutor's Office. Now the
demonstrators are moving towards the Russian military base despite some
obstacles posed by the law-enforcers. The number of the demonstrators
is growing.
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.
