A Russian soldier accused of murdering the seven members of an Armenian family in Gyumri in January will be tried by an Armenian court, state prosecutors in Yerevan officially confirmed on Tuesday.
Armenia's Office of the Prosecutor-General elaborated on President Serzh Sarkisian's announcement late last week that Russia has agreed to transfer the high-profile criminal case toArmenian jurisdiction.
The law-enforcement agency said this will be done after a "settlement of procedural issues." "We cannot speak of concrete time frames at the moment," it said in a statement. "What is clear, however, is that Armenian law-enforcers will investigate the murder case while Armenian courts will administer justice."
