    The hearing of the case on Arman Babajanyan, editor-in-chief of
    Jamanak Yerevan newspaper, closed today. The next hearing is expected
    on September 4.

    The judge announced that all 4 witnesses are away from Yerevan for
    various reasons. He read out the testimonies upon the consent of the
    advocate and the prosecutor.

    Armine Arakelyan, the wife of Vahe Aboyan, writes, "I have never been
    the wife of Arman Babajanyan and my marriage certificate was faked
    under the name of Arman Babajanyan." The birth certificates of both
    of her daughters were also faked. She says, "Babajanyan caused moral
    damage to my family but I do not want any money from him."

    In their testimony, the officials of military commissariat, Tigran
    Harutunyan and Samvel Khachatryan, write that they trusted Emilia
    Nersisyan, employee of the president's staff and mother of Babajanyan,
    and did not check the validity of the marriage certificate, even
    though it was without notary certification. The next witness, Monk
    Arshak, mentions that they do not have letterheads as submitted from
    Babajanyan as if from the seat of St.

    Edchmiadzin. Therefore, these documents were also faked.

    The judge also read out the letter, based on which the case
    was instituted against Babajanyan, which tells the story of
    faking the documents. The letter was signed from the name of
    "A. Khachatryan." However, the advocate said, "It is nameless and
    cannot be a sufficient base for a charge because they have searched
    a person with that name but could not find him/her." The advocate of
    Babajanyan submitted proofs, which say that Babajanyan could not have
    stolen the marriage and birth certificates. The trial is postponed
    until the next hearing.
