“Case of Seven” began
It seems as though Judge of the "Case of Seven" Mnatsakan Martirosyan has come to grips with the fact that the accused are going to remain standing. He didn't remove the seven accused today and moved on to the discussion of the arbitrations. The defendants' side demanded its refusal claiming that the judge has reached a couple of verdicts on the case of "March 1" and can not be subjective.
Accuser Koryun Piloyan considers such arbitration as unacceptable. However, Judge Martirosyan declared intermission for half an hour to discuss the arbitration. Before that, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Alik Arzumanyan declared that it doesn't matter to him "which judge of the court of mannequins will sentence them." According to him, the judge will enter the consultation room, call and find out what the sentence is.
Before entering the consultation room, the father of one of the victims of March 1-Gor Kloyan-asked to make a speech, but the judge said that that would be postponed after the consultation. There are successors of the three victims present in the courtroom who want to make a statement.
Alexander Arzumanyan, Grigor Voskerchyan, Suren Sirunyan, Shant Harutyunyan, NA Deputies Hakob Hakobyan, Myasnik Malkhasyan and Sasun Mikayelyan are charged with organizing mass disorder accompanied by murders and state usurpation through violence.
Myasnik Malkhasyan is also charged with leading the actions of the crowd showing resistance to law-enforcement officers, while Sasun Mikayelyan is charged with illegally carrying weapons.
