GYUMRI, Armenia (ArmRadio.am)–“Russian border guards have detained Valery Permyakov, the Russian deserter suspected of killing a family of six in Gyumri, near the village of Bayandur,” Prosecutor of Shirak Province Raffi Aslanyan told GALA TV on Jan. 12.

According to preliminary information, Permyakov was trying to cross the Armenian-Turkish border. The Prosecutor said the suspect is currently being held by Russian officials at that country’s military base in Gyumri.

A manhunt was underway in the Shirak region of Armenia for Permyakov, who deserted his post at the 102nd Russian military base in Gyumri and went on a rampage, killing six members of an Armenian family, among them a two-year old girl, on Jan. 12. A six-month old infant survived the attack but is in critical condition at a local hospital, news agencies reported.

“Military boots with the name and surname of the serviceman have been found at the site,” said Sona Truzyan, spokesperson of the Investigative Committee of Armenia. An AK 74 rifle and 5.45 mm caliber shells have also been found.

Truzyan identified the murder victims as Seryozha Avetisyan, Hasmik Avetisyan, Armen Avetisyan, Araksya Avetisyan, Aida Avetisyan, Hasmik Avetisyan (2 years old), and Seryozha Avetisyan (6 months old).

The Police said they are investigating the crime together with representatives from the military base.

Infant ‘saved by miracle’

Six months-old Seryozha Avetisyan was operated on after being hospitalized in the wake of the violent act. His condition is estimated as stable. The head of Gyumri’s Australian hospital, Ashot Kurghinyan, told the state news agency Armenspress that the infant was in critical condition, with stab wounds in the chest.

“The infant was found on the mother’s dead body; the perpetrator probably thought he was dead, whereas he had been breathing. The child was hospitalized late; he was in shock, cold, and almost bloodless,” Kurghinyan said, adding that he finds the successful surgery a miracle.

“Yes, we can now say that the infant was saved by a miracle, but his condition continues to remain grave but stable. He is surviving the shock and is in the intensive care department switched to an artificial breathing aid. We are hopeful he will be strong enough to overcome it,” he added.

“I guess the infant was brought to us four or even five hours after the incident. He was in that condition for such a long time; there was a loss of blood and so on. Seeing that the infant’s vital organs are not essentially damaged, we can make positive forecasts, but it is too early to speak with guarantees today,” the doctor added.

Sarkisian holds urgent consultation

President Serge Sarisian on Monday held urgent consultations with the heads of law-enforcement bodies regarding the heinous murder.

Sarkisian stressed the importance of ascertaining the details of the case, detaining the guilty and holding them accountable.

The leadership of the Russian Military Base in Gyumri is cooperating with the Armenian law-enforcement bodies and is providing practical support to the investigation of the case.

Sarkisian also offered his condolences to the relatives of the victims and said he shared the sorrow and pain of the family.

Russian Embassy issues statement

The Russian Embassy in Armenia issued a statement on Jan. 12 about the murders, expressing shock and offering all resources in the ongoing investigation of the crime.

“We are shocked by this terrible crime. We mourn with the Armenian people. We offer our condolences to the families and friends of the victims,” read the statement. “The perpetrators of this vicious crime should be given the most severe punishment.”

“The relevant bodies of the Republic of Armenia and the Russian Federation are taking all necessary measures with a view of ensuring a fair and comprehensive investigation of the incident,” added the statement. “The investigative groups are coordinating efforts in full compliance with the Agreement of the Presence of the 102nd Russian military base on the territory of the Republic of Armenia.”

Armenia’s Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian had a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Sergey Shoygu on Jan. 12, while Armenia’s Deputy Defense Minister David Tonoyan, spoke to his Russian counterpart.

Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan met with the Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin.

He stressed that the Russian military base in Gyumri was cooperating with the Armenian law-enforcement bodies and was providing the necessary assistance.
