JHANGIRYAN’S CASE WASN'T SUSPENDED
Support A1+!Judge of the Yerevan Criminal Court Mnatsakan Martirosyan suspended the trial for Vardan Jhangiryan’s case. Vardan Jhangiryan, who is charged with violence against a state official, wasn’t able to come to the trial today either.
The defendant’s attorneys presented a doctor’s note proving that Vardan Jhangiryan has serious health problems and needs to stay in bed and intermediated to suspend the case until their client would be able to come to the trials.
After discussing the intermediation in the consultation room for more than half an hour, Mnatsakan Martirosyan rejected it based on the reason that the doctor’s note can’t serve as a basis for suspending the case.
Vardan Jhangiryan, brother of former Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangiryan, suffers from spinal tuberculosis. His situation got worse after he was beaten, shot and arrested on February 23 at the Argavand intersection.
The next trial will take place on February 11 at 11 a.m.
