Glendale Community Again Protests Harsnakar Incident

As “Asbarez” informs again a crowd gathered in front of Consulate General of the Republic of Armenia in Los Angeles on July 13 to protest against military doctor Vahe Avetyan’s murder. One of the protestants was Avetyan’s relative. He made a heartfelt plea that the laws of the land be implemented and simple justice be served upon those who murdered his relative. The protest which lasted about an hour attracted the attention of “Glendale News Press” photographers and the Police. Consulate staff allowed only one person to enter the building from among the demonstrators to deliver the demands, which are:
1. An extraordinary session of the Armenia’s National Assembly be convened;
2. The Prosecutor General indict Rouben Hayrapetyan as a codefendant in the Avetyan murder case;
3. Hayrapetian be dismissed from the National Assembly for violating its rules prohibiting entrepreneurial activity by sitting Deputies.
4. An impartial investigation be conducted of Hayrapetyan’s offenses and Avetyan’s murder
5. Hayrapetian be dismissed from his post as President of the Football Federation of Armenia.
Future protests will be held at the same location on Sundays at 1:00 pm, with a special demonstration planned for Avetyan’s Forty Day memorial.
