Tous ceux qui sont venus ont été marqué (au sens figuré hein) par la circulation pour le moins chaotique, pire que les plus grandes capitales africaines, beyrouth et Damas réunis.
Et le genre d’histoire sordides qui suit n’en est que lq conséquence directe.
Enkerner, khntroum em aytselek kaykeche, yev ajaktsek Melikian entanikin yev Hayastani bolor hetiotnerin.

Dear friends,
As many of you know, my cousin, Araz Melikian, was killed by a taxi driver in Yerevan this past summer. Her precious life was cut way too short…3 weeks shy of her 18th birthday. For those of you who have been to Armenia, I’m sure you’ve experienced the reckless driving conditions. I also experienced the frustration and anger in the streets of Yerevan when we went for the funeral proceedings. After several court hearings, the killer has now basically walked away free. Therefore, in an effort to enforce new laws/regulations & improve driving conditions in Armenia the below petition was created by my father, Soorik Melikian, & Alma Eskandary. Forwarded is also the letter that will be sent to three of our ministers in Armenia. I’m certain that all of us believe in the same cause–improvement in our country. We have to start somewhere…hopefully via this petition our joined voices will be heard & results will take effect.
Furthermore, my uncle, Derik Melikian is the chief editor of “Alik” newspaper in Iran. He’s using this media outlet to voice several articles. Additionally, we’re hoping to produce a documentary that features several families who share the pain of losing loved ones due to unsafe driving conditions in Armenia. Hopefully, this documentary will be televised in Armenia.
I hope every single one of you is doing great. I thank you in advance.
Best wishes,
Gaia

Dear friend,
A petition has been created in response to Soorik Melikian’s plea of justice; shown below, for his niece, Araz Melikian - a victim of unsafe traffic laws, in Armenia.
If you are a resident of Armenia, or if you have ever visited the country, you will know the dangers pedestrians face everyday, first hand. If you wish to visit our beloved land, in future, you should be warned that crossing the roads are dangerous, and presently there are no proper regulations in place to assure the safety of the pedestrians.
If you agree with this petition, please go to the website http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/araz and enter your name, then pass this information to your friends and contacts. If you have no interest in this matter, we thank you for taking your time reading this email, however, please forward this petition on to your other contacts as they may be interested.
This petition will be sent to:
Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Justice.
PETITION:
Dear Ministers,
We, the undersigned are concerned citizens, visitors and devotees of our beloved land, Armenia. Our concern is the safety of all pedestrians, especially those in the streets of Yerevan. The traffic laws and regulations presently in place do not reflect the rapid increase of motor vehicles and unsafe drivers in the country. Our request from the government is: to act fast upon this life-threatening and concerning issue. Since the present laws do not work in favor of pedestrians, there is neither a safeguard nor justice for the victims, and the ramification for the motorists is from minimum to none.
As concerned Armenians we would appreciate your cooperation and sharing of our vision, for a pedestrian-safe Armenia .]
Soorik Melikian’s letter:
sireli enkerner;
I am writing to you out of desperation & disgust for the rule of law in our motherland (fatherland) ARMENIA…..
AS YOU KNOW, MY NIECE (ARAZ MELIKIAN) WAS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT.
NOW, AFTER SOME 3 MONTHS OF COURT PROCEEDINGS, THE KILLER, A TAXI DRIVER, IS BASICALLY FREE…..
COURT IN YEREVAN RULED FOR THE KILLER TO BE ONLY ON PROBATION FOR 2 YEARS; NO DRIVING & NO OUT-OF-THE-COUNTRY-TRIPS FOR 2 YEARS….
THAT’S ALL.
WE ALL KNOW THERE WILL BE NO ENFORCEMENT OF EVEN THE ABOVE. WHO IS GOING TO WATCH HIM WHAT HE IS DOING..????
ABOVE IS JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, TO BE AWARE OF THE DEGREE OF LAWLESSNESS (CORRUPTION.?) IN OUR ARMENIA….
MY BROTHER (AND HIS WIFE) ARE DEVASTATED AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING!
AS IT IS, OUR ARMENIA HAS A LONG WAY TO GO FOR DEMOCRACY AND “JUSTICE FOR ALL”……….
SOORIK
