GYUMRI. – Relatives of the Avetisyans who were brutally killed in Gyumri on January 12 intruded into the office of Shirak Region Prosecutor General Raffi Aslanyan.

They are demanding a phone call or a meeting with Armenia's Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan so that he could answer their questions.

Relatives are very excited and refuse to leave the room unless their demand is met.

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.”
