Politics


“Vardan Jhangiryan’s state is still most concerning. He is still in bed and needs rest cure. Jhangiryan suffers from a few diseases which cannot be cured in Armenia,” says Lusine Sahakyan, Advocate of ex Deputy Prosecutor Gagik Jhangiryan and his brother Vardan Jhangiryan.


Remind that Vardan Jhangiryan, charged with violence against a government representative, suffers from vertebral tuberculosis. His health further aggravated after receiving a missile wound during the detention on February 23, 2008. Today he has serious health problems.


The next court sitting is due at 10.00, January 20. The previous sittings were adjourned because of the defendant’s poor health. Judge Martirosyan has confirmed the standing judgment on Jhangiryan’s compulsory attendance.


Note that the advocates have submitted numerous medical certificates about the defendant’s state. They are going to send new documents certifying Jhangiryan’s ill health and file a petition for the case dismissal.


The court ruling on the case of Gagik Jhangiryan will continue on January 15. The court will hear the policemen invited by Jhangiryan’s advocates.
