    YEREVAN. - The first court session, with respect to the balloon
    explosion in Armenia's capital city Yerevan, will convene on August
    30, Haykakan Zhamanak daily writes, referring to Datalex judicial
    bulletin.

    `The sole accused in this affair is Serob Bozoyan, 54. He fills and
    sells ordinary balloons sitting on a Yerevan street sidewalk.

    According to the charges, on May 4 he manufactured at his Yerevan home
    and subsequently sold products not meeting safety regulations and
    causing threat to consumers' lives, and, as a result, 228 people
    sustained bodily injuries.

    Even though 228 injured parties are mentioned, the same page reads
    that those who suffered injuries are 64. It is unknown as to why this
    is so. It is also unknown as to how the Prosecutor's Office will
    insist on the absurd supposition that Bozoyan alone filled and sold
    7,000 balloons,' Haykakan Zhamanak writes.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, a tragedy occurred during
    the ruling Republican Party of Armenia's parliamentary election
    campaign rally and concert held at capital city Yerevan's Republic
    Square on May 4. Hundreds of balloons filled with gas exploded and
    started to burn. Subsequently, the balloons' melted rubber fell on the
    event participants. Those near the stage were affected the most.

    Subsequently, German plastic surgeon Adrian Daigler, who was invited
    to Armenia upon the instruction of President and RPA leader Serzh
    Sargsyan, operated on nine patients who suffered injuries from the
    balloon blast. And the last patient was discharged on July 2.
