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.
