    YEREVAN.- The court hearing on balloon explosion in Armenia's capital
    city Yerevan scheduled for Friday was adjourned again.

    The judge Gagik Poghosyan assigned a public defender to defend Serob
    Bozoyan, the sole person accused in this affair. During the hearing
    Bozoyan said he has health problems.

    The next hearing, when the injured party will present their position,
    is scheduled for September 30.

    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.
