    SEROB BOZOYAN DOES NOT HAVE MONEY FOR MAJOR SURGERY

    The man given a one-year prison sentence for last May's unexpected
    explosion of thousands of balloons during a campaign rally in Yerevan
    needs urgent surgery but the issue still remains unsettled. Serob
    Bozoyan is suffering from cancer and his condition has reportedly
    deteriorated in recent weeks.

    As Bozoyan's lawyer, Karen Manucharian, informed Pastinfo.am doctors
    have doubled the price of the surgery, driving the desperate and
    unemployed man [Bozoyan] to a terrible plight.

    In October 2012 the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan's Kentron
    and Nork-Marash administrative districts sentenced Serob Bozoyan
    to one year in prison after finding him guilty of May 2011 balloon
    blast in downtown Yerevan. Hundreds of gas balloons exploded in the
    capital's Republic Square on May 4, 2011, during an election campaign
    meeting organized by the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK). The
    explosion was followed by fire, with melted rubber falling on the
    event participants. At least 228 were injured in the result. Some of
    the injured underwent plastic surgery. The court ruled that Bozoyan,
    who sold the gas balloons to the organizers of the rally, was the
    only person responsible for the blasts. The 54-year-old was found
    guilty of manufacturing and selling goods not meeting safety standards.

    During his trial, Bozoyan pleaded guilty to a charge of negligence and
    apologized to the people who were injured during the mass explosions
    of balloons though his lawyer announced that the organizers of the
    gathering had been warned about the possible blast.

    Bozoyan is disputing the verdict in the Court of Appeals.
