The vice-chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee for Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Affairs, Oleg Lebedev, stated that the trial of Russian soldier Valery Permyakov will be held in Armenia.

“Russia has done everything possible so that the investigation is conducted in Armenia,” Lebedev said.

He recalled that Permyakov had committed a “war crime,” which is punishable under Russian laws.   

Oleg Lebedev also expressed confidence that the guilty will get the punishment he deserves.

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, Armenia, 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.
