YEREVAN. - The court trial into the balloon explosion in Armenia's
capital city Yerevan adjourned yet again.
Defendant Serob Bozoyan's attorney was newly involved in the trial,
and therefore he asked the court for additional time to get familiar
with the particulars of the case. So, the court adjourned until
October 11.
To note, during the previous hearing on September 14, Bozoyan had
admitted his guilt and asked for a speedy trial.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, a tragedy occurred during
the ruling Republican Party'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.
