MOSCOW, January 23 (RAPSI) - Armenian investigators have interrogated
Russian soldier Valery Permyakov, who stands charged with fatally
shooting seven members of a family in the city of Gyumri, Interfax
reported on Friday, citing the Armenian Investigative Committee.
The Сommittee broadcast a 30-second footage of Permyakov's
interrogation. Faces of his lawyer and translator were blurred for
security reasons, according to investigators.

Armenian Criminal Code. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
On January 12, Permyakov, who was serving at Russia's 102nd army base
in Gyumri, killed a family of six and mortally wounded a six-month-old
baby, who died of injuries on January 19.

Yerevan with Agvan Ovsepyan, the head of the Armenian Investigative
Committee, on Tuesday. They signed an agreement to establish a center
to coordinate the investigation into the criminal case. Armenian and
Russian investigators, crime experts will enter the 10-member center.
They will cooperate in this case and conduct all the necessary
procedures in strict compliance with international law and a
Russian-Armenian agreement on jurisdiction and mutual legal assistance
in cases related to the deployment of the Russian military base in
Armenia, according to the Armenian Investigative Committee.
Pretrial investigation into the case and court hearings would be held
in Armenia, Bastrykin said earlier.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Permyakov would appear
