Before that he listened to the participants of the trial. Prosecutor Arthur Yeritsyan noted that this case mustn’t be politicized and assured that no one had given him an order. He says that Kiviryan committed a crime and he must be punished.

Defendant in the case Argishti Kiviryan didn’t make a final speech by noting that he doesn’t consider himself to be a defendant, “Political order is implemented against me and there is no fair trial,” he said.
