Russia has agreed to allow Armenian law-enforcement authorities to prosecute a Russian soldier who has confessed to murdering the seven members of an Armenian family in Gyumri last January, President Serzh Sarkisian announced on Friday.
Sarkisian was cited by his press office as revealing a Russian "decision to transfer the murder case to the jurisdiction of Armenia's Investigative Committee" at a meeting with Russia's visiting Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov.He also spoke of its "further judicial investigation by a relevant Armenian body."
A statement by the office did not clarify whether this means that the soldier, Valery Permyakov, will be extradited to Armenian investigators or at least be tried by an Armenian court.
