YEREVAN. – The lawyers working on the Avetisyan murder case have not been called to the Investigation Committee, lawyer Yerem Sargsyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to the lawyer, the documents received from the Russian side are being translated. As to convict Valery Permyakov, he is at the Russian base.

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. 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.” Another criminal case was opened by Armenia's Investigation Committee.
