An action of protest will be held in front of the Armenian Consulate
in Los Angeles at 7 pm Yerevan time. The demonstrators will demand
that serviceman Valery Permyakov suspected of murdering the Armenian
family in Gyumri, should not be handed over to Russia.
To note, similar actions have been held in Armenia as well. Everything
began when Armenia's Prosecutor General, Gevorg Kostanyan, said
that serviceman Valeriy Permyakov cannot be handed to the Armenian
law-enforcement in line with the RF legislation.
Later, Kostanyan said that the investigation process will be in
the territory of Armenia in line with the legislations of Armenia
and Russia. At present, both the parties have initiated separate
criminal cases. He did not say if Permyakov will be jailed in Armenia
or Russia. Meanwhile, the Russian garrison court has already chosen
arrest as a measure of restraints against Permyakov. The Armenian
party is outraged at such a decision, as all the facts are in the
hands of the Armenian law-enforcement.
On Jan 12, a family of six was murdered in Gyumri. Valery Permyakov,
a serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in Gyumri, is the
suspect. On 14 January Armenian Prosecutor General's Office reported
that they did not discuss the issue of handing over Permyakov to the
Armenian side, as according to the Russian legislation, a Russian
citizen cannot be handed over to another country. But after numerous
protest actions near the 102nd Russian military base in Gyumri and
the meeting at the president's residence, Armenia's Prosecutor General
Gevorg Kostanyan said that the investigation of the case will be held
according to the legislation of Armenia and Russia through comparing
the legislative acts of the two countries. He emphasized that the
criminal will be imprisoned in the territory of Armenia and the
process will be transparent.
