Tsolakyan: We cannot drive wedge between two countries because of one monster
15:51, 19.01.2015
The governor of Armenia's Shirak Region, Feliks Tsolakyan, on Monday
held a press conference to ease the current tense situation in Gyumri,
and as a result of last week's brutal murder of a family in the city.
"I hope [that] and call upon the Gyumri residents not to be guided by
emotions, since both our[--Armenian--] law enforcement and the Russian
law enforcement are doing everything to solve the case.
"We cannot drive a wedge between the two countries [, Armenia and
Russia,] because of a monster.
"We need to let the investigation find out what happened," Tsolakyan
said, in particular. He also noted that the main task at hand is to
find out why the Avetisyan family was killed.
As per the Shirak regional governor, those responsible for the injury
of 33 people, and during the January 15 clashes between the police and
civilians in Gyumri, definitely will be brought to account.
Tsolakyan added that the situation in Gyumri is relatively calm at present.
As reported earlier, six members of the Avetisyan family--including a
two-year-old girl--were shot dead, and a six-month-old baby boy was
wounded in their house in Gyumri on January 12. Valery Permyakov, a
serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in the city, stands
accused in this crime. Valery Permyakov is held in custody at the
Russian military base.
The soldier is charged under Russian law, but the Investigative
Committee of Armenia also has launched a criminal case on the murders.
The Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia had stated that Permyakov
will face justice under Russian law, and this information had provoked
a wave of protests in Armenia, especially in Gyumri and capital city
Yerevan.
