Armenian Defense Minister: Transfer of Valery Permyakov to Armenian
law-enforcers was not discussed at the meeting with Arkady Bakhin
Tuesday, January 27, 21:52
The issue of the transfer of Valery Permyakov to the Armenian
law-enforcers was not discussed during the meeting with First Deputy
Defense Minister of Russia, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan
said at today's press conference. He said that the meeting with Arkady
Bakhin covered the course of investigation of the family murder in
Gyumri. "At that time, the Russian side, including Bakhin, stressed
the need for thorough investigation of that horrible crime, punishment
of all the culprits in line with the interstate agreement signed by
Armenia and Russia. The agreement regulates the issues related to
deployment of the Russian military base in Armenia", said Ohanyan.
He added that all the other issues related to the tragedy in Gyumri
should be left for consideration of the investigative structures and
that the Defense Ministry cannot assume the functions of other
structures.
When replying to the journalists' remarks that it's time for Armenia
to pay attention to the discipline level at the Russian military base
in Armenia given the recent tragedy, Ohanyan said that over the past
few years the level of discipline and combat practice of the base has
seriously improved and that this is firsthand information. "During the
incumbent commander Andrey Ruzinsky's term in office, the contingent
has seriously improved its positions. As regards the staff of the
base, Armenia has no powers to interfere. This is the affair of the
sovereign country - Russia in this case. We cannot decide whom to
draft for service in Armenia", he said.
On Jan 12, 6 members of the Avetisyans' family were murdered in
Gyumri. Though 2 weeks have passed since the day of the murder, the
investigation has not yet reasonably explained the reasons why Valery
Permyakov could commit that horrible crime. At the moment, the
criminal is staying in the territory of the Russian 102nd military
base and the residents of Gyumri still demand transferring Permyakov
to Armenian law-enforcers. The only survivor of the Jan 12 tragedy,
6-month-old Seryozha Avetisyan, died of stab wounds on Jan 19.
