Russian Embassy Comments on the Involvement of Russian Military Personnel in the Murder of a Woman from Gyumri

We drew attention to the involvement of a serviceman from the Russian 102nd military base located in Gyumri in the murder of an Armenian citizen, as reported by several Armenian media outlets.

This kind of extremely unprofessional approach to information work raises feelings of suspicion, especially when unverified and unconfirmed data is published under “sensational” headlines while completely ignoring the presumption of innocence.

This irresponsible behavior, particularly in such a challenging electoral period, benefits those forces that seek to drive a wedge between the existing strategic and traditional friendly relations between Armenia and Russia.
