Zaruhi Postanjyan, member of the PACE Committee on Equality and
Non-Discrimination, has applied to the PACE leadership to take
immediate measures to bring Acting Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin
to responsibility for extension of xenophobia and racism and to start
investigating the fact of denigration of Hrachya Harutyunyan's honor
and dignity by the legal structures and representatives of medical
institutions, who had invested Harutyunyan with a housecoat before
taking him to the court.
In her open letter to CoE Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland, as
well as to the heads of a number of PACE structures and Chairperson
of the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance Eva Smith,
Postanjyan speaks of the violation of rights of Armenian citizen
Hrachya Harutyunyan, who was arrested following the 13 July 2013
tragic road accident in Russia. Postanjyan thinks that after the
incident Acting Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin made a statement on
the use of discrimination against foreign citizens.
She says that the tragic accident killed 18 people and wounded dozens
of people. Hrachya Harutyunyan, the driver of the defective Kamaz owned
by a private company, also received bodily injuries and was taken to
court and arrested immediately without being provided medical aid. At
the moment he is in the hospital of the Matrosskaya Tishina detention
unit, she says.
Postanjyan is convinced that no such tragic incident might have
occurred if the Russian Federation, a member of the Council of
Europe, were not one of the most corrupt countries. And if racism
and xenophobia are added to the countrywide corruption in Russia,
it becomes obvious that not only the precedence of law, but also the
right to life and dignity of the citizens of other nationalities of the
multi- ethnic Russian Federation are threatened, Postanjyan stresses.
Zaruhi Postanjyan also asks her colleagues to urge Russia to
take immediate measures to bring Olga Skobeyeva, a journalist of
Rossiya-1, to responsibility for her insulting remarks against Hrachya
Harutyunyan and violation of assumption of innocence, as well as to
start investigating the fact of denigration of Hrachya Harutyunyan's
honor and dignity by the relevant legal structures and representatives
of medical institutions.
