YEREVAN. – Armenian parliament member Zaruhi Postanjyan received a reply to her letter sent to President of Russia Vladimir Putin over Valery Permyakov's case.

The copy of the letter was sent to Russia's Prosecutor General Yuriy Chayka.

The formal response sent by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation said that Valery Permyakov could not be handed over to the Armenian side, since he is a citizen of Russia.

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; and the baby boy died in hospital on January 19.

Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in Gyumri, stands accused in this crime. The soldier is charged under Russian law, with “the murder of more than two people” and “desertion with a service weapon.” Investigative Committee of Armenia also filed a criminal charge against Permyakov.
