FULL APPLICATION OF ARMENIA LAW IN GYUMRI MURDER CASE IMPOSSIBLE: PROSECUTOR GENERAL
12:50, 15 Jan 2015
Armenian Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan visited the Prosecutor's
Office of Shirak province. He held a press conference dedicated to
the slaughter of the family of six in Gyumri by Russian soldier.
Valery Permyakov, the perpetrator of the crime, and any person related
to the crime will be punished, Kostanyan assured.
The Prosecutor General said the crime in Gyumri should be considered
in the context of international law. "We should not be guided by
emotion, because this is a matter to be regulated by international
law," he said.
Gevorg Kostanyan noted that full application of the Armenian law
in the case is impossible, as Armenia has international agreements,
which comprise part of our legislature.
The Prosecutor General stressed that if a military crime is committed
on the territory of Armenia, the Russian legislature should be
applied. If there is a different crime, we deal with the Armenian
legislature.
Kostanyan noted that the criminal will stand trial in Armenia and
everyone here will have an opportunity to follow the whole process.
