The Russian serviceman who severely beat an Armenian woman to death in Gyumri will be convicted by Armenian court, NSS director Artur Vanetsyan said today.

The Russian serviceman from 102d Russian military base in Gyumri beat a 57-year old cleaner early in the morning of December 6.

“A murderer has no nationality, he is a criminal and must be convicted,” Vanetsyan said.

Asked whether he will be convicted by the Armenian court, Vanetsyan said that the murder took place in Armenia’s territory, thus he will be convicted by the Armenian court.

The Russian serviceman has been arrested. Aysor.am sources report that he is being kept in the territory of the Russian military base.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
