Haykakan Zhamanak: Avetisyan family murder trial set to begin in Armenia this autumn

 The trial of Russian soldier Valery Permyakov charged with murder of the Avetisyan family in the Armenian city of Gyumri on January 12 of this year will start on August 12 in Gyumri. He will be tried in the 5th garrison court of Russia’s South Caucasus Military district, in fact, the trial will be held in the Russian 102nd military base in Armenia. The court, however, will examine a charge of Permyakov’s desertion, while the trial of the Avetisyan family murder case is likely to be held in an Armenian court in the autumn, ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ daily writes.
