TWO LAWYERS WILL DEFEND THE COMMANDER

Politics

On May 21 two lawyers will defend Husik Baghdasarian, Commander of Masis Battalion.

Today Husik Baghdasarian’s resumed trial was postponed again because of the latter’s demand to invite a second lawyer Hovik Arsenian to defend him. Thus, on May 20 both Hovik Arsenian and Vardan Zournachian (Baghdasarian’s present lawyer) will speak in his defense.

Reminder: The commander of Masis Battalion is accused under Article 235 /possession of illegal weapons/ and has been sentenced to 3 years’ imprisonment.

“I didn’t know my husband was going to demand a second lawyer. Probably one lawyer doesn’t manage all the work”, Baghdasarian’s wife told “A1+”.

“Husik Baghdasarian will be more effectively defended by 2 lawyers. Besides, the possibility of making a mistake fades away”, considers Zournachian, Baghdasarian’s present lawyer.
