    COURT TRIAL ON ARMENIAN ACTOR'S CASE IS ADJOURNED

    March 12, 2014 | 15:28

    The first court hearing into the case of renowned Armenian actor
    Vardan Petrosyan adjourned on Wednesday.

    Petrosyan's attorney Nikolay Baghdasaryan submitted a respective
    motion to the court stating that he has another court hearing on the
    same day and, subsequently, he will attend a lawyers' training.

    The injured party's attorney Ruben Baloyan, on the other hand, stated
    that this is a deliberate delay of the hearing.

    "Vardan Petrosyan has four more attorneys; one of them could have
    been present [at court]," he added noting that this deferral causes
    moral and physical pain to the injured party.

    In his motion, Baghdasaryan also informed that two more attorneys
    will arrive in Armenia from France on March 25. Consequently, he
    asked the court for time so that the new attorneys are accredited
    at the Chamber of Advocates of Armenia, and get familiar with the
    case. The court granted the motion.

    Prior to the court decision, however, Vardan Petrosyan stated that
    he wanted to address the injured party. The actor said several words
    and, subsequently, the presiding judge interrupted him, whereas Hayk
    Hakobyan of the injured party spoke in outrage.

    Actor's sister Askhen Petrosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that her
    brother is morally depressed.

    The court adjourned scheduling the next hearing for March 28.

    A major accident occurred on October 20, 2013 in Kotayk Region. A
    BMW and a VAZ 2121-model vehicle crashed at around 9:20pm on the
    Yeghvard-Yerevan motorway. As a result, seven people sustained
    injuries and were transferred to several hospitals. Among them was
    famous actor and comedian Vardan Petrosyan, whose liver and spleen
    had ruptured. As a result of the accident, however, brothers Edgar
    and Eduard Hakobyan--who were passengers in the VAZ 2121--had died.

    A criminal case was instituted on the incident, and Vardan Petrosyan
    was arrested.
