ARMENIA-RUSSIA-ARMY-CRIME-CHILDREN

Conscript Russian soldier Valery Permyakov looks on, while inside of the defendant's cage in a courtroom during a hearing at the Russian military base in Gyumri, some 55 miles (89 kilometres) from the capital Yerevan, on August 12, 2015. Permyakov's boots and Kalashnikov rifle were found at a murder scene of a family of seven in Armenia, including two children, and was arrested after trying to flee to Turkey. To appease Armenia, Russia agreed the military court would only try Permyakov on charges of desertion with a service weapon and stealing and illegally carrying a weapon and ammunition, of which he has pleaded guilty on August 12. The murder case is to be heard by an Armenian court. AFP PHOTO / KAREN MINASYAN (Photo credit should read KAREN MINASYAN/AFP via Getty Images)
