YEREVAN. – The residents of Yerevan have been bringing candles, flowers and toys to Liberty Square from early morning of Tuesday to honor memory of six-month-old Seryozha Avetisyan.
The photo of Seryozha and his 2-year-old sister, also murdered in Gyumri, was put on the steps of the Opera house. The families with their children are coming to Liberty Square to light candles.
Candles and toys have been brought to the Avetisyan’s house in Gyumri from the very moment when the reports on Seryozha’s death appeared.
As reported earlier, six-month-old Seryozha Avetisyan died on Monday. Other six members of his family were killed last week. Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in the city, stands accused in this crime.
The soldier is charged under Russian law, with “the murder of more than two people,” and “desertion with a service weapon.” The Investigative Committee of Armenia also has launched a criminal case on the murders.
