Russian serviceman Valery Permyakov committed murders in the Armenian town on Gyumri, outside the 102nd Russian military base. Consequently, the Armenian investigation services must prosecute and try Permyakov with active participation of the Russian law-enforcement, particularly, the chief military prosecutor's office, as they are also in charge of the case,
Aleksey Binetsky, the first vice president of Russia's Union of Lawyers told RBC. According to him, Russian citizens or, at least, the Moscow residents, should have come to the Embassy of Armenia, bring flowers and apologize, to show their solidarity with the Armenians, that poor family and their relatives. "It would be a true display of friendship, cooperation and would prove that we respect all the countries, including those we have military bases in," Binetsky said.
