YEREVAN, DECEMBER 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The officially translated Armenian
version of the "Haroutiunian against Armenia" judgement of the European
Court has been put on the official internet site of the Ministry of
Justice of the Republic of Armenia. This Armenian version will also
be published in the official gazette to be published soon. This
information was provided to Noyan Tapan by Lana Mshetsian, the
Spokesperson of the RA Ministry of Justice. The Court of First
Instance of the Syunik region had found M. Haroutiunian guilty,
irrespective of the fact that it was testified that the defendant
had been submitted to torture by the police collaborators, however,
in the formulation of the Court, that was driven from the interests of
justice. As regards the case of Misha Haroutiunian, the European Court
had decided that his right for a fair trial had been infringed. The
Court had also decided that Misha Haroutiunian should be paid 3000
euros by the RA government as an indemnity.
