Alexander Bastrykin, the head of the Russian Investigative Committee,
will visit Yerevan on Monday at the invitation of his Armenian
counterpart Agvan Ovsepyan.
The Armenian Investigative Committee told Interfax the heads of the
Investigative Committees will discuss issues relating to the killing
of a family of six in Gyumri, in which Russian soldier Valery
Permyakov is suspected.
"Bearing in mind the characteristics of this criminal case, Agvan
Ovsepyan invited Alexander Bastrykin to Armenia. The invitation was
accepted and the visit will take place today," the source said.
According to earlier reports, a family of six, including a two-year
old child, were murdered in Gyumri, northern Armenia, on January 12.
The only survivor, six-months-old Sergei Avetisyan, was hospitalized
with a stab wound.
Valery Permyakov, a serviceman from Russia's 102nd military base, who
is deployed in Gyumri, was detained shortly after the attack. He is
now on the territory of the military base. Criminal charges were
brought against him on January 14 based on the Russian and Armenian
Criminal Codes.
On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin called his Armenian
counterpart Serzh Sargsyan to again extend his condolences to the
victims' relatives and all people of Armenia in regard of the tragedy
in Gyumri.
