JHANGIRYAN NEEDS TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY

Politics


Vardan Jhangiryan, who is the brother of former Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangiryan, is having trouble walking even with a stick, told “A1+” his wife Marine Jhangiryan. According to her, her husband’s health conditions are not good, his legs are weak and he can barely walk.

She says that a couple of days ago he tried to get out of bed on his own and fell down.

“Doctors say that his situation is getting worse and they can’t do anything besides giving him tranquilizers. He has to get treatment outside Armenia. But he needs permission to get out of the country,” says Marine Jhangiryan.

Let us recall that Vardan Jhangiryan suffers from spinal tuberculosis. He has had serious health problems since February 23 when he was arrested and beat.

Vardan Jhangiryan is charged with attacking a state official. The court session foreseen for December 12 was postponed with the decision to arrest Vardan Jhangiryan on December 26.

Let us add that the attorneys of the previous session mediated the court to stop the case until the defendant is able to come to the sessions.

Prosecutor Koryun Piloyan objected the mediation noting that there was no document regarding Vardan Jhangiryan’s health condition. Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan also postponed the decision on the mediation until the attorneys didn’t present evidcence.

Marine Jhangiryan told “A1+” that the attorneys were given documents that confirm Vardan Jhangiryan’s health. The attorneys presented it in court, but they know that the decision to arrest Jhangiryan is still in effect.
