Chairman of the Russia’s Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin has arrived at Yerevan to coordinate the work of military investigators looking into a criminal case against Russian soldier Valery Permyakov, who was a conscript in a military unit located in the town of Gyumri, Armenia.

The Russian President instructed Mr. Bastrykin to work in close cooperation with law-enforcement bodies in Armenia for maximum impartial and full investigation. There no doubts that the guilty of a brutal murder will be brought to justice.

I remind that Permyakov is charged with crimes under paragraph “a” of part 2 of article 105 of the RF Penal Code (murder of two or more people) and part 2 of article 338 (desertion carrying a gun issued for service) for which he now faces a life in prison.
