"I still claim that my son's murderers are to be sentenced to life
imprisonment. The date of my son's murder does not correspond to the
date mentioned in the trial - December 24," The successor of Hovsep
Mkrtumyan started the trial with the following words in the Court of
Appeal on Criminal cases while hearing the case on the murder of the
NKR Martakert regiment soldiers Hovsep Mkrtumyan and Roma Eghazaryan.
The defendants' advocates came to the trial after the break and
motivated their absence with the fact that their mediations were not
taken into account and the trial was impartial. The judge refused the
mediation of 3 advocates Stepan Oskanyan, Zarui Postanjyan and Atoyan
saying that "the mediation is completely groundless." At that moment
Stepan Oskanyan addressed the judge, "Why is the court interested in
finishing the hearing."
Then Zarui Postajyan made a speech presenting the experts' conclusions
thoroughly which refuted the murder on that date. The judges
reluctantly listened to her speech. After the speech the judges began
their discussions and decided to refuse the mediation in a few minutes.
Let us mention that Arajik Zaryan, Musa Serobyan and Razmik Sargsyan
accused of the murder went on hunger-strike. The latter is an awful
state and is hardly taken to the courtroom. The hearing was cancelled
because of his health till tomorrow.
