The situation is calm in Gyumri city, governor Feliks Tsolakyan of Armenia’s Shirak Region told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In his words, last night was tranquil, too, in the city, and no incident was recorded.

“The situation is the same in Gyumri; nothing has changed, all is calm,” Tsolakyan stated.

The burial ceremony for little Seryozha Avetisyan, the lone survivor of the recent tragedy in the city, will take place on Wednesday at the Gyumri cemetery, where the bodies of the six other members of his family already have been laid to rest last week.

As reported earlier, six members of the Avetisyan family—including a two-year-old girl—were shot dead, and a six-month-old baby—Seryozha Avetisyan—was wounded in their house in Gyumri on January 12; but the baby boy died in hospital 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 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.” The Investigative Committee of Armenia also has launched a criminal case on these murders.

The Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia had stated that Valery Permyakov will face justice under Russian law, and this information had provoked a wave of protests in Armenia, especially in Gyumri and capital city Yerevan.
