    HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS: LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS PROVOKED CLASHES IN GYUMRI

    12:57 | January 16,2015 | Politics

    Law enforcement officers yesterday provoked and angered protesters
    who were holding solidarity rallies in Armenia, says Artak Zeynalyan,
    Chairman of the Rule of Law NGO.

    "The brutal murder of six people that occurred in Gyumri on January
    12 has shocked people," said Chairman of the Helsinki Committee of
    Armenia Avetik Ishkanyan, who was detained on Thursday evening during
    the clashes between the protesters and riot police in Gyumri.

    "Residents of Gyumri doubt that Valery Permyakov, who is being kept at
    the local Russian military base, will ever stand trial for the murder
    of the Avetisyan family. The tragedy questionsArmenia's sovereignty
    and judicial system." He said.

    A series of protests took place in Gyumri and Yerevan on January 15,
    with protesters demanding to hand over tRussian serviceman Valery
    Permyakov, who is charged with murdering Avetisyan famil in Gyumri
    to Armenian law-enforcement authorities. Many in Armenia think this
    is a test for the sovereignty of Armenia, which has recently joined
    the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union.

    Russian soldier Valery Permyakov, 19, who was serving at Russian
    Military base N 102 in Gyumri, was detained by Russian border guards
    on Monday after alleging killing six members of the Avetisyan
    family in Gyumri and wounding a six-month-old infant on the same
    day. The Avetisyans - two grandparents, their son and daughter,
    a daughter-in-law, and young Hamsik - were found killed, when
    a relative-neighbor came to the house for morning coffee. The
    six-month-old infant, the only survivor of the brutal murder,
    was hospitalized with severe stab wounds in his chest. Permyakov
    reportedly confessed to the mass murder. He is now kept under arrest
    at the Russian military base in Gyumri and has been charged with
    murder and desertion.
