Relatives have no news of Hrachya Harutyunyan
For already 3 months the relatives of Hrachya Harutyunyan, who is at present in Tambov’s penitentiary institution in Russia, haven’t spoken to him. “Formerly he kept in touch with us, but at present we are not in contact. I don’t know what the reason is, maybe the phones were taken and he is not allowed to call,” Victor Martirosyan, father-in-law of Hrachya Harutyunyan told “A1+”. He says that representatives of the embassy also visited Hrachya Harutyunyan, who has health problems, and registered that Hrachya Harutyunyan has spinal hernia, “But they said that he could not undergo surgery.” To remind, on July 13, 2013, near Podolsk, just outside of Moscow, the breaks of the truck Hrachya Harutyunyan was driving gave out, and the truck hit a bus, killing 18 passengers. More than 30 people were hospitalized. He was sentenced to 6 years and 9 months in prison. Negotiations are underway for extradition of Hrachya Harutyunyan to Armenia. “The issue of transfer is not clear yet. Moscow promises and until now nothing has been done,” summed up Victor Martirosyan.
