On June 17 Garik Soghomonyan started giving testimonies in the Court of Avan and Nor Norq administrative districts of Yerevan under the presidency of the Judge Davit Haroutyunyan on the case of the trial of the assault in ‘Harsnaqar’ restaurant. Apparently his testimonies and Artak Bayadyan’s testimonies who gave them earlier in the court were the same.

Thus, victim Vahe Avetyan was warned about the dress code, i.e. ‘we do not allow inside in sport clothes’, afterwards Vahe Avetyan was aggressively invited out by the waiter Davit Adamyan. The victim Soghomonyan having left the hall a little later saw Vahe Avetyan with his first beat.

According to the victim, Norayr Hayrapetyan lectured the waiter, assured them that the waiter will be punished and said, ‘let’s walk that way and talk’ and accompanied them to the parking.

Here ‘they rapidly started beating, everyone was randomly beating, I was not able to see who was beating whom’. They were many, around 15-20 people, among them 6 defendants on the case, there was no one to separate them. He lost consciousness, after coming to mind he saw unconscious Vahe Avetyan. He was immediately transferred to the hospital where in the elevator V. Avetyan stopped breathing.

Attorneys of four out of six defendants mediated to get the tape with the trail recording, but the court rejected the motion, because the victim was in the presence of advocates and there is no need of it. The court also assured that the data carriers will be given in the end of the trial.

Interrogation of defensive party was interrupted because health of defendant Arman Khachatryan got bad because of dizziness and nausea. The Judge said that emergency aid brigade will be called and the trail was postponed until 20 November.
