The paper says it has learned from “well-informed sources” that
Prosecutor General Gevorg Kostanyan has sought his Russian
counterpart’s permission over organizing Valery Permyakov’s
interrogation in Armneia.

But the Armenian inquest bodies did not reportedly have a chance to
question or even meet with the Russian serviceman on Friday. The
proceeding over the January 12 brutal murder in Gyumri is conducted by
the Investigative Committee’s department tasked with handling cases of
special importance, says the paper, adding that a investigative group
of regional prosecutors has now been set up to get the case under way.
