YEREVAN. – Three parliamentary factions – Prosperous Armenia, Heritage
and ANC – offer to hold parliamentary hearing in Gyumri tragedy in a
new format, head of Heritage faction Ruben Hakobyan said after their
meeting on Friday.

“We oppose making a show of the tragedy as well as provoking different
speculations,” he said, adding that the foreign minister, chiefs of
police and national security service must be present.

The MP said they offer to hold hearing next Friday.

As reported earlier, six members of the Avetisyan family–including a
two-year-old girl–were shot dead, and a six-month-old baby was wounded
in their house in Gyumri on January 12; and the baby boy died in
hospital on January 19.

Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in
the city, stands accused in this crime. The soldier is charged under
Russian law, with “the murder of more than two people” and “desertion
with a service weapon.” And on January 21, the Investigative Committee
of Armenia also filed a criminal charge against Permyakov, and with
“premeditated murder of two or more persons.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
