YEREVAN, JULY 20, ARMENPRESS: The representatives of different media
of Armenia sent an open letter to the president of the Russian Union
of Journalists and their partners. As reported by Armenpress, the
letter says in particular: "We express our deep condolences on the
occasion of the car crash that took place on July 13, causing the
death of 18 people.
An accusation was filed against the citizen of the Republic of Armenia
Hrachya Harutyunyan for the violation of the traffic security and
exploitation rules. During the recent days the representatives of
the Russian media, touching upon the tragedy, have committed ethics
norms violation, in particular, noting in their publications the
citizenship of the Armenian, they presented the person of Hrachya
Harutyunyan with some obvious negative background, sometimes sounding
offensive expressions in the address of the Armenian.
Taking into account the fact that the journalists and media play
a considerable role in the formation of the public opinion and any
careless word and opinion could raise revulsion between the Armenian
and Russian peoples, we kindly ask you to discuss the behavior of
the journalists and media in the framework of the ethics norms and
condemn it.
We hope that the 21st article of the Constitution of the Russian
Federation, which ensures the dignity rights of any person, will be
respected by the representatives of the media as well".
On July 13 at 13:00 in New Moscow, nearby the Podolsk Village, Kamaz
truck came out of the second line and crashed into a bus driving from
Podolsk to Kurilovo, sharing it into two parts. In the result of the
car accident 18 people died and more than 60 were wounded. The driver
of the truck Hrachya Harutyunyan was accused of the violation of the
traffic security rules, causing the death of two or more people.
Two-month detention was imposed to the Armenian. He was taken to the
court in a woman's bathrobe. On that occasion a protest action was
held in front of the Russian Embassy to Armenia, during which the
protesters demanded protection of human rights and a proper attitude
towards the citizen of the Republic of Armenia.
On July 16 the Human Rights Defender of the Republic of Armenia
Karen Andreasyan sent an official letter to his Russian counterpart
Vladimir Lukin requesting for the protection of the dignity and other
rights of Hrachya Harutyunyan. The message of Karen Andreasyan says
in particular: "Please, accept my deep condolences on the occasion of
the awful road incident, taken place on July 13, taking the lives of
18 innocent victims. The citizen of the Republic of Armenia Hrachya
Harutyunyan, accused of the violation of the traffic security rules,
causing the death of two or more people, on July 15 was brought
to court in quite a humiliating state, in a woman's bathrobe in
particular.
The Constitution of the Russian Federation ensures that the dignity
of a person should be respected and protected by the state and
nothing could serve a base for humiliating it. The 21st article
of the Russia's Constitution guarantees that the dignity right
of every person is his/her own right, which is not restrained by
anything. Taking into account the fact that the incident took place
on the territory under your jurisdiction, I kindly ask you to study
the reasons for the humiliating attitude towards Hrachya Harutyunyan,
as well as initiate actions in the framework of your duties to assist
the citizen of the Republic of Armenia Hrachya Harutyunyan and let
me know about the results.
Highly evaluating the close and effective cooperation between the
Human Rights Defenders of the Republic of Armenia and the Russian
Federation, I thank you in advance for the assistance".
The Office of the Human Rights Defender of the Russian Federation
promised during the next week to respond the letter
