All the demands over the transfer of Russian serviceman Valery
Permyakov, the suspect of the murder of the Armenian family in Gyumri,
to the Armenian law-enforcement structures should be addressed to the
authorities of Armenia, Armen Martirosyan, Deputy Head of Heritage
Party, said at a press conference in Yerevan.
He thinks it unacceptable that the country's authorities are
instigating the displeased people to storm the Russian Consulate to
shift the responsibility for the situation to the Russian officials.
"We should direct our demands to the authorities of Armenia, first of
all, to the President, who has been silent since January 13, to the
Foreign Ministry, to the Prime Minister, because their posts oblige
them to protect the rights of the country's citizens", he said.
Martirosyan also thinks that the further behavior of the Russian side
depends on the actions of the Armenian side. "The international
agreements have supremacy over the countries' laws, so, according to
Provisions 4 and 5 of the Agreement on deployment of the 102nd Russian
military base in Armenia, Permyakov can and must be transferred to the
Armenian side. All the obstacles are artificial", he said.
To recall, a family of six was murdered in Gyumri on January 12. The
suspect, Russian serviceman Valery Permyakov, is still in the
territory of the 102nd Russian military base in Gyumri. The residents
of Gyumri are holding actions of protest and demand transferring
Permyakov to the Armenian law-enforcers.
