Judges presiding over at all five cases separated from the "case of
the seven" became known.

As Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by Alina Yengoyan, RA
Cassation Court Spokesperson on April 8, Shant Haroutiunian’s case will
be examined by judge Edik Avetisian at Yerevan Kentron and Nork-Marash
communities’ first instance court, RA NA deputy Sasun Mikayelian’s case
by judge Hrayr Sargsian at Kotayk region first instance court. And
first instance court judges Gagik Poghosian, Gagik Avetisian, and
Armen Khachatrian were earlier appointed judges of Yerevan Kentron
and Nork-Marash communities’ first instance court on cases of Grigor
Voskerchian, NA deputies Hakob Hakobian and Myasnik Malkhasian. No
decision on fixing a court sitting has been made on any of the cases.

It should be mentioned that Yerevan Kentron and Nork-Marash
communities’ court presided over by judge Mnatsakan Martirosian on
April 1 made a decision to separate materials of cases on the above
mentioned five persons and to send them to Kotayk region and Yerevan
Kentron and Nork-Marash communities’ first instance courts according
to jurisdiction. The court made that decision discussing prosecutor
party’s petition of partially renouncing the prosecution and changing
the accusation brought.
