YEREVAN (Reuters) - At least 14 people were wounded in scuffles between police and protesters as several thousand rallied in Armenia's second city of Gyumri on Thursday, demanding that Russian authorities hand over a soldier accused of killing six members of a local family.

Armenian police say Valery Permyakov, a soldier at a Russian base in Gyumri, has confessed to Monday's killings, whose victims included a two-year-old girl. A younger child was wounded but survived.
