GYUMRI. – Twelve people were injured as protesters clashed with police on Thursday near the Russian Consulate in Gyumri, Armenia’s second largest city.

Director of Gyumri medical center Armen Isahakyan confirmed the report for Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The protesters demand that Valery Permyakov, Russian serviceman accused in the murder of six people, must be brought to justice in Armenia.

Eight people received first aid, another four people, three of them police officers, have been transported to medical centers. Two of them are serious, the physician added.

As reported earlier, six members of the Avetisyan family—including a two-year-old girl—were shot dead, and a six-month-old baby boy was wounded in their house in Gyumri on Monday. 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, and he was arrested on Wednesday. Valery Permyakov is held in custody at the Russian military base.
