YEREVAN. - The first court session, with respect to the balloon
explosion in Armenia's capital city Yerevan, convened on Thursday,
but it was adjourned until September 14.
The hearing was adjourned because Serob Bozoyan, the sole person
accused in this affair, was absent from the courtroom.
Also, 118 injured parties were absent, too, and courtroom allocated
for the 79 injured parties was very small, and therefore the hearing
was relocated to a larger sessions' hall, Pastinfo News Agency reports.
Prosecutor Hakob Martirosyan, however, motioned to adjourn the session
and to carry out measures so that the accused and all injured parties
attend the next hearing.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, a tragedy occurred during
the ruling Republican Party of Armenia's (RPA) parliamentary election
campaign rally and concert held at 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, and 154
people were injured.
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.
Serob Bozoyan, who had filled these balloons, is charged with
manufacturing and selling products not meeting safety regulations
and causing harm to two or more people.
