An action of protest against the humiliation of Armenian citizen
Hrachya Harutyunyan in Russian court will be held in front of the
Embassy of Russia in Armenia on Wednesday.
The press service of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) reports that the organizers of the action are
the Nikol Aghbalyan Students Union and the ARFD Youth Union.
"We are planning to give the employees of the Embassy an old housecoat
to show them that centuries-old 'friendship' is not eternal and that
nothing can justify this kind of behavior in 'democratic' Russia,"
says the organizers.
At the same time, they extend their condolences to the families of
those killed in the bus accident caused by Harutyunyan.
The fact that Harutyunyan was brought to court in a colored housecoat
has raised a wave of discontent in Armenia and among the Armenians
living in Russia. People in social networks are protesting against
such humiliation of human dignity.
On July 13 Harutyunyan's Kamaz drove into a bus with 64 passengers. 18
people were killed. On July 15 the Tver court of Moscow ruled that
Harutyunyan should be in custody till Sept 13. The Armenian may face
seven years in jail if found guilty.
