The next trial of "Royal Armenia" will be held on 1 November at the
RA Appeal Court.
Aram Ghazaryan, deputy director of the company answered to the
questions today. Gagik Hakobyan, owner of "Royal Armenia" company
was also present at trial accompanied by policemen.
FIG Company who is the distributor of "Royal Armenia" submitted a claim
against the heads of "Royal Armenia". They are accused of smuggling,
falsifying documents and evading taxes.
Attorney of FIG Company Lusine Sahakyan did not give questions to
the two prosecutors who represented "Royal Armenia". Prosecutor Levon
Melkonyan did not want to hear the answer to his question.
Questions of Judge Suren Ghazaryan were directed not only to defender
Ashot Sargsyan, but to those who were present at the hearing who
responded automatically.
Lawyer Sargsyan received a notice for saying that he did not doubt
about the Judge’s professional capacities. Judge Suren Ghazaryan blamed
him for behaving improperly and for making indecent remarks about
the Court. Judge Henrik Ter-Adamyan noted that the defender insulted
the Court by his manners. But when the Judge started to focus on each
word or manner of the lawyer, Ashot Sargsyan asked the Judge to let
him out for 10 minutes since he was unable to work in that atmosphere.
