HZh: Permyakov should face trial in Armenia, IC head’s brother says
Deputy of Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) faction of the Armenian parliament Ruben Hovsepyan - the brother of the head of Armenia’s Investigative Committee Aghvan Hovsepyan – expressed an opinion that Russian soldier Valery Permyakov charged with mass murder in Gyumri should face trial in Armenia.
“I think he should face trial in Armenia,” R. Hovsepyan told ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ daily, adding that “the Russian side may charge Permyakov with desertion, but the Armenian side should deal with the other issues”.
He expressed a positive opinion about the protests staged by Gyumri residents. According to R. Hovsepyan, he didn’t discuss that subject with his brother and it is his personal opinion.
