YEREVAN. – Valery Permyakov, Russian soldier accused in murder of the Gyumri family, is at the Russian military base, MP said.

Armenian MP Martun Grigoryan, who has just returned from the base together with activist Karen Petrosyan, assured protesters he had seen Permyakov with his own eyes. He urged the residents of Gyumri to go home.
