    YEREVAN. - The court trial into the deadly incident that occurred
    in Armenian capital city Yerevan's Harsnaqar Restaurant Complex was
    adjourned yet again on Wednesday.

    Defendant Arman Baghdasaryan asked the court to appoint a new legal
    defender, and the court complied with his request and appointed
    attorney Vagharshak Gevorgyan as Baghdasaryan's legal defender. In
    his turn, the lawyer motioned the court to grant him two weeks to get
    familiar with the particulars of the case, but the court granted him
    only one week and adjourned the hearing until October 10.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, an incident had occurred
    at Harsnaqar Restaurant Complex on June 17, where several military
    doctors including Edgar Mikoyan, Arkadi Aghajanyan, Garik Soghomonyan,
    Artak Bayadyan and Vahe Avetyan were brutally beaten by security
    personnel. And Vahe Avetyan died in hospital on June 29.

    Subsequently, a criminal lawsuit was filed and, now, six people are
    standing trial.

    The Restaurant's owner is ruling Republican Party former MP, Football
    Federation of Armenia President, and businessman Ruben Hayrapetyan,
    who formally gave up his parliamentary seat in connection with this
    incident.
