I'm ready to leave for Moscow and defend our compatriot Hrachya
Harutyunyan, member of the Chamber of Advocates, attorney Ruben Baloyan
told reporters today. He's confident that Harutyunyan needs not only
legal, but also moral-psychological support.
President of the Analytical Centre on Globalization and Regional
Cooperation Stepan Grigoryan considers that Armenia should take steps
to extradite Hrachya Harutyunyan to Armenia and hold the trial here.
Stepan Grigoryan offers condolences not only to the families of the
18 victims of the tragic accident near Moscow on July 13, but also
to the relatives of all those killed in Russia in car accidents at
the fault of drunk drivers.
"I have looked at the statistics. The number of people killed in
crashes at the fault of drunk drivers has been about 100 times more
this year," he said.
Grigoryan considers that on the days following the accident Russian
media violated the rules of journalistic ethics constantly mentioning
his nationality and failing to maintain the resumption of innocence.
The political scientist is satisfied with the reaction of the Ministry
of Foreign affairs. Yesterday representatives of the Armenian Embassy
in Russia met with Harutyunyan at the pre-trial prison. They assure
the conditions there are satisfactory. Representatives of the Embassy
have promised to arrange a phone conversation with the family in the
near future.
Stepan Grigoryan sayd it would be better if the Ambassador or the
Deputy Ambassador visited Hrachya Harutyunyan. As for the perspectives
of his extradition, Grigoryan said all necessary legal bases exist
between Armenia and Russia to organize it.
He's confident the issue should be raised before the trial. "Russia
is obviously politicizing the issue. It will be naïve to expect that
the trial will be fair," he added.
Member of the Chamber of Advocates Ruben Baloyan is ready to leave
for Moscow and defend our compatriot. According to him, there are two
ways to involve Armenian lawyers in the process. Either the Chamber
of Advocates should dispatch a lawyer, or Harutyunyan's relatives
must apply to attorneys.
Having analyzed the details of the accident, Baloyan is confident
that Hrachya Harutyunyan has managed to make a correct decision to
avoid a greater number of victims.
