YEREVAN, JANUARY 20, ARMENPRESS: During the visit of the Chairman of the Russia’s Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, the main subject of discussion is the case of the murder of 7 members of the Avetisyans’ family in Gyumri on January 12. The Spokesperson of the Chair of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia Sona Truzyan told Armenpress that Bastrykin had arrived in Armenia by the invitation of the Chairman of the Armenia’s Investigative Committee Aghvan Hovsepyan. The visit is a working one and will last for two days. “The visit is of a strict working nature, as there is a concrete mission. The discussions are very important”, - said Truzyan.

The six members of the Avetisyan family were shot and killed in Gyumri at around 6 a.m. on January 12, 2015. The only survivor was 6-month old Seryozha Avetisyan, who was transferred to a hospital with injuries caused by a cutting and piercing tool. The child’s health condition became worse on January 19.

Soldier of the 102nd Russian military base stationed in Gyumri, Valery Permyakov is charged with killing the members of the Avetisyan family and causing numerous injuries to little Seryozha.
