PanARMENIAN.Net - YEREVAN, February 15. /Mediamax/. 5 more accused refused today the counsel for the defense at the trial of the case of "October 27", which began today in Yerevan, the correspondent of Mediamax reported from the courtroom

One of them - member of the criminal group Edward Grigorian - declared that he wished to have another lawyer, for which the court gave a one-week period.

Besides, two of the accused - ex policemen Avetik Minasian and Armen Gasparian spoke with a solicitation to separate the case regarding them to a separate legal procedure, motivating their decision with the "unwillingness to be in the same cage with bandits." After the court refused the proposal, Gasparian spoke with a new solicitation - to change his preventive punishment. Again being refused, the accused declared of this intention to go on hunger strike.
