    YEREVAN ANGERED BY HUMILIATING TREATMENT OF ARMENIAN DRIVER TRIED IN RUSSIA OVER DEADLY ROAD ACCIDENT

    YEREVAN. July 16

    A protest rally is being held in front of the Russian embassy in
    Yerevan on Tuesday.

    Several dozen people, among them rights campaigners, have gathered
    to protest against the humiliating treatment of the Armenian driver
    responsible for the deadly traffic accident south of Moscow in which
    18 people were killed.

    The youth wing of the Armenian revolutionary federation Dashnaktsutyun
    plans to organize another protest rally and to hand a women's dressing
    gown to the Russian ambassador.

    Armenian rights campaigner Karen Andreasian earlier sent a letter to
    Russian human rights commissioner Vladimir Lukin, asking him to deal
    with the matter.

    "Armenian citizen Hrachya Haruityunyan, accused of violating traffic
    rules that led to multiple deaths, was brought to court wearing a
    women's dressing gown, which was a humiliating sight to look upon.

    Please, deal with this incident and act within your powers to aid the
    Armenian citizen. Please, inform me of the results," the letter says.

    The Armenian Foreign Ministry told the media that the Armenian embassy
    in Moscow remains in touch with Harutyunyan's lawyers "in order to
    provide any assistance he may need."

    "Two defense attorneys and an interpreter have been assigned to him,"
    the Foreign Ministry said.

    Harutyunyan's appearance in court wearing a women's dressing gown
    was criticized by Armenian politicians and public figures.
