MOSCOW. Jan 17
The Russian Health Ministry is sending leading specialists to Yerevan
to assist the medical treatment of a child, who survived after a
Russian soldier attacked and killed a family in northern Armenia.
Russian Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova and her Armenian
counterpart Armen Muradian held talks by telephone on Saturday, Health
Ministry spokesman Oleg Salagai said.
"After the Russian and Armenian health ministers discussed the boy's
condition Skvortsova ordered a group of leading Russian medical
specialists to travel to Yerevan to assist the medical treatment,"
Salagai said.
A family of six, among them a two-year-old child, were killed in the
town of Gyumri in northern Armenia on January 12. The only survivor,
six-month-old boy Serzh Avetisian, was hospitalized with stab wounds
in very serious condition. The suspect, soldier Valery Permyakov, of
Russia's 102nd military base located in Gyumri, was detained soon
after and is now at the military base. Armenia and Russia declared him
suspect in the murder case pursuant to the Armenian and Russian
criminal codes.
The killing incited disturbances in Armenia. Protests were held in
Gyumri on January 15 to demand that Permyakov be handed over to the
Armenian judiciary. Clashes erupted between protesters and policemen.
Fourteen people, among them five police officers, were hospitalized.
