YEREVAN. – The injured parties in the case involving Hrachya Harutyunyan, whom a Moscow district court had sentenced to six years and nine months in prison, have submitted appeals to court.

Armenia Human Rights Defender’s advisor Yeranuhi Tumanyants told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.  

In her words, even Harutyunyan’s attorney has not yet read the appeals, but it can be assumed what they are about.     

“We assume that there may be a two-part appeal: either the amount of the fines, or that the Court of First Instance has denied the claim requiring several million rubles in compensation,” she noted.    

As for Harutyunyan’s health condition, Tumanyants informed that everything is fine and he has no complaints.   

Armenian citizen Hrachya Harutyunyan had pleaded guilty to causing a major traffic accident in Russia last year. The truck he was driving had crashed into a passenger bus on July 13, 2013 outside Moscow. The impact of the crash was so powerful that the bus had split in two. The accident claimed eighteen lives and injured more than sixty others.

On August 4, a Moscow district court sentenced Hrachya Harutyunyan to six years and nine months in prison on charges of “violating traffic and vehicle operation rules, which has unwittingly led to the death of two or more persons.”
