Relatives demand petitions from judge
"During today's trial I informed the judge that my defendant had health problems and that I wasn't able to meet with him because I was out of the country. I petitioned to call the doctors and then determine whether the trial would continue or not. But the judge overlooked my statement," said Voskanyan.
The advocate is not sure whether or not his defendant will be able to participate in tomorrow's trial. "Voskerchyan has very high pressure is very high, he feels weak and is barely able to speak," said Voskanyan.
During today's trial Mnatsakan Martirosyan managed to announce the grounds of the presented petitions and said that challenge petitions with the same grounds were not presented more than one time. This was the reason why Mnatsakan Martirosyan rejected the challenge petition presented by Alla Hovhannisyan-mother of one of the victims of March 1 Tigran Khachatryan.
Alla Hovhannisyan still can't understand why the judge attached the ten murders with the cases of the political prisoners. According to her, the preliminary investigation of the "Case of Seven" was conducted with flaws and the judge was not supposed to proceed with the case.
"It is clear that all victims were not armed, but they were either killed by use of combat weapons or the special device used by the police officers. The conclusion does not state who the murderers were and their names remain unannounced. The current legal proceedings go to show that the court doesn't want to reveal the crimes that were committed," said Tigran Khachatryan's mother.
The judge didn't even examine the petition of the victim's mother. Jemma Vardumyan, mother of one of the victims of March 1 David Petrosyan, reminded judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan that she makes the trip from the Lori Marz every day and doesn't have enough money to come to a court where the legal proceedings haven't really begun yet.
efore judge of the "Case of Seven" Mnatsakan Martirosyan went to the consultation room to discuss the challenge petition presented to secretary of the trial, the court was forced to call an ambulance for Grigor Voskerchyan.
Doctors said that Voskerchyan's poor health condition didn't allow him to stay for the trial and they gave him treatment.
Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan postponed the trial to tomorrow at 12 p.m. Grigor Voskerchyan's wife informed "A1+" that her husband has not been feeling well for the past two days and was forced to come to the courtroom today. Voskerchyan's advocate Stepan Voskanyan managed to meet with his defendant only after the trial.
