Actions of protest related to murder of the Avetisyan family in Gyumri
by serviceman of the Russian 102nd base Valery Permyakov. Participants
of the march to the building of the General Consulate of Russia in
Gyumri demanded putting of his case under jurisdiction of Armenia.
A big-scale action with a demand to put the case of Permyakov under
jurisdiction of Armenia took place near the residence of the President
in Yerevan. Before the beginning of the action its participants
honored the memory of the killed family buried yesterday.
Organizer of the action David Manukyan announced from the tribune, "We
demand preliminary investigation and trial to take place here and that
Permyakov serve his sentence in Armenia. Prosecutor says that this is
not a fundamental issue but everyone worries about where the criminal
will spend the sentence."
A few dozens of activists gathered near the Embassy of Russia in
Yerevan with similar demands later. The action passed under increased
control of policemen who stopped an attempt to burn a Russian flag.
By the afternoon, the protect action near the building of the Russian
General Consulate in Gyumri grew into clashes. Policemen used special
means for dispersing of the demonstrators who tried to break through
to the building. Stones started flying at policemen protected by
shields and helmets. Twelve people including three policemen were
brought to a hospital. A few hours earlier, the crowed accompanied
General Prosecutor Gevork Kostayan with shouts "Disgrace!"
Demonstrators were not satisfied by his promises that trial would take
place on the territory of Armenia.
By that time investigator of the 519th military investigations
department of the investigations committee located in Gyumri stated
claims against Permyakov regarding committing of crimes outlined by
article 105 of the Criminal Code (murder of two people and more
including murder of a little child) and article 338 (desertion with a
weapon entrusted in the framework of military service). After that
investigators sent a request to arrest the private to the garrison
military court located in Yerevan but the accused was not delivered
there and the judge arrived to Gyumri. Meeting of the court took place
on the territory of the military base. Local lawyers refused to defend
Permyakov and he was given a lawyer brought from another region. The
private was arrested for two months. The court explained this saying
that Permyakov was accused of a crime that was punishable up to a
lifelong sentence and moreover so he already tried to hide from the
preliminary investigation bodies.
According to the law, Permyakov's case should be heard in essence not
in a garrison court located in Armenia but in the North Caucasian
district military court in Rostov-on-Don. However, like the garrison
court it can organize meetings at the place where a crime is
committed. There were cases in practice of the garrison court when
cases against the servicemen who committed crimes against citizens of
Armenia were transferred by it to courts located in Russia. Motivation
part of such verdicts said that according to Russian laws a citizen of
Russia could not be extradited outside of the country or extradited to
another state.
