The six people charged with violent beating of military physicians
at the Harsnakar restaurant during a June 17 brawl do not understand
what they are exactly convicted of.
During today’s court session in the Court of General Jurisdiction
of Yerevan’s Avan and Nor Nork districts, the prosecutor presented
the charges filed against the six defendants but they rejected the
accusations, saying they do not understand clearly what they are
accused of.
As a result of a June 17 brawl at the Harsnakar Restaurant owned by
former Republican MP Ruben Hayrapetyan, military doctor Vahe Avetisyan
and his three friends were hospitalized with serious injuries.
Avetyan, 35, died in hospital 12 days later without regaining
consciousness. The uproar following the death of the military doctor
made Hayrapetyan renounce his mandate.
Six people, including Ruben Hayrapetyan’s bodyguard, were later
arrested on charges of beating military physicians at the Harsnakar
Restaurant. Garik Margaryan, Arman Baghdasaryan, David Adamyan, Arman
Khachatryan, Norayr Hayrapetyan and Arthur Babloyan are charged
with Article 112, Part 1 of the Armenian Criminal Code (causing
life-threatening bodily injuries to two and more persons.
