YEREVAN. - The ongoing investigation is also considering the theory
that Russian soldier Valery Permyakov, who is the accused in the
recent murder of the Avetisyan family in Armenia's Gyumri city, had
not acted alone.
The First Deputy Chief of Police of Armenia, Hunan Poghosyan, noted
the abovementioned at a press conference on Monday.
The deputy police chief informed that the investigation puts forward a
variety of theories, which are investigated, and, subsequently, either
dismissed or corroborated.
"The Armenian and Russian law enforcement is working, and everything
will be clear after the completion of the investigation," Poghosyan
noted.
In addition, he dismissed the rumors that, on the day of the tragic
incident, six other soldiers had fled the Russian military base in
Gyumri.
"Upon arrival at the scene of the incident, I requested for those in
charge of the military base, who gave us clarifications," Hunan
Poghosyan stated.
As reported earlier, six members of the Avetisyan family--including a
two-year-old girl--were shot dead, and a six-month-old baby was wounded
in their house in Gyumri on January 12; but the baby boy died in
hospital on January 19.
Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in
the city, stands accused in this crime. Permyakov was apprehended by
the Russian border guards near the Armenian-Turkish border on the same
night, he was arrested on January 14, and he is held in custody at the
Russian military base.
The soldier is charged under Russian law, with "the murder of more
than two people" and "desertion with a service weapon." And on January
21, the Investigative Committee of Armenia also filed a criminal
charge against Permyakov, and with "premeditated murder of two or more
persons." The Russian soldier has accepted the charge.
