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.
