THE COURT REFUSED NAIRI HUNANIAN REJECTION OF THE STATE PROSECUTOR

PanARMENIAN.Net - YEREVAN, February 15. /Mediamax/. The Yerevan Court of first instance of Kentron and Nork-Marash okrugs, under the chairmanship of Judge Samvel Uzunian, started today afternoon in the building of the Cassation Court of Armenia the court examination of the case of "October 27".

As the Armenian "A1+" TV company reported, from the 13 accused only 12 were present in the courtroom. Accused Misak Mkrtchian, regarding whom a written undertaking not to leave the country is determined as a preventive punishment, never appeared in the court for obscure reasons.

Three of the accused, including the main accused Nairi Hunanian, refused the services of the counsel for the defense and so they defend themselves.

At the beginning of the session Hunanian declared rejection of one of the state prosecutors - Hakop Martirosian, grounding his solicitation with the fact that Martirosian supposedly takes part in the case as a witness. The court refused Hunanian's rejection.

As Mediamax was informed in the Military Prosecutor's office of Armenia, Martirosian doesn't figure in any way in the case materials. The court session proceeds.
