ArmInfo.The presiding judge of the Sasna Tsrer case, Judge Artush Gabrielyan, applied sanctions against his lawyer Gagik Yeghiazarian - Tigran Yegorian.

It is noteworthy that before this Gabrielyan applied sanctions to  Yeghiazaryan for disrespectful attitude to the court, and declared a  break. During the break, Yegoryan's lawyer left a note to the judge  with a notification of the illegality of his actions, and left the  courtroom. Returning from the advisory room, the judge applied  sanctions to the missing Yegoryan, explaining that the lawyer's  attitude was also disrespectful.

Sanctions were also applied to the defendant Varuzhan Avetisyan for  appeals for armed disobedience. After this incident, the next break  was announced, the fourth already on the account. The meeting was to  start again at 17:00 local time.

It should be noted that the second sitting on the Sasna Tsrer case,  which was scheduled for June 21, began in the court of general  jurisdiction of the Yerevan districts of Avan and Nor Nork with an  hour's delay because the lawyers of the defendants did not allow  themselves to be searched and were not allowed to enter the court  building. After the defendants were taken to the courtroom with an  hour's delay, Judge Artush Gabrielyan, who presided over the court,  left the courtroom. Later, attorney Armine Fanyan, who participated  in the meeting, reported that the court had announced a one-hour  break.

To note, the case is considered by the court of the administrative  districts of Erebuni and Nubarashen, but transferred to the building  of the Avan and Nor Nork courts, as it is larger in size. Note that  the first meeting on the case was postponed and did not begin, as the  defendants and their relatives interfered with the court.

To recall, on July 17, 2016 the group "Sasna Tsrer" seized the  building of the Regiment of the PPS of the Armenian Police in the  capital district of Erebuni. The group demanded the resignation of  Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and the participant of the Karabakh  war Zhirayr Sefelyan, who was arrested in the spring of the same year  for illegal possession of weapons. The group surrendered and was  arrested on July 31.
