    ARMENIANS MOURN FAMILY SLAIN BY RUSSIAN SOLDIER

    People gathered at Freedom Square in Yerevan, Armenia, on January
    20 to light candles and leave gifts in memory of the seven members
    of a family allegedly killed by a Russian soldier on January 12. Six
    family members, including a two-year-old boy, were murdered in their
    home in Gyumri, Armenia's second-largest city and host to a Russian
    military base.

    A six-month-old baby, who was the sole survivor of the attack, later
    died on January 19, according to the BBC.

    The event triggered questions in Armenia about the country's
    relationship with Russia. Tensions flared on January 15 when angry
    protesters clashed with police outside the Russian consulate in Gyumri
    following the funeral of the family. Protesters demanded that the
    suspect, who was being held at the Russian military base in Gyumri,
    be handed over to Armenian authorities. A January 20 report by Radio
    Free Europe said the trial was expected to be conducted by a Russian
    military court on Armenian soil.
