Activist Anushavan Haroutiuyan has become the second participant in the protest actions over the family murder in Gyumri to face indictment.
The indictment says Haroutiunyan in a company of other persons violated the public order in Garegin Nzhdeh Street in Gyumri on Jan 15 2015. Particularly, they demonstrated disrespect for the public, used violence to a person, showed resistance to the police.
The activist - who does not plead guilty - was released on recognizance not to leave.
On Jan 12, 6 members of the Avetisyans' family were murdered in Gyumri. The only survivor of the Jan 12 tragedy, 6- month-old Seryozha Avetisyan, died of stab wounds on Jan 19. Though a month has passed since the day of the murder, the investigation - either Russian or Armenia is not clear - has not yet reasonably explained the reasons why Valery Permyakov could commit that horrible crime. At the moment, the criminal is staying in the territory of the Russian 102nd military base and the residents of Gyumri still demand transferring Permyakov to Armenian law- enforcers. Some protesters and the police clashed near the Russian Consulate in Gyumri.
