Trial into soldier's death again adjourned
The trial into the case of Artak Nazaryan, who died under non-combat conditions in one of the military units in Tavush marz, was due to take place on February 8.
The sitting started with a 15-minute delay since the court was waiting for Alvard Mnatsakanyan, lawyer for defendants Harutik Kirakosyan, Adibek Hovhannisyan and Mkhitar Mkhitaryan.
However, lawyers Hrant Gevorgyan and Azat Shahbayan did not attend the seeing accounting their absence for unfavourable weather.
Artak Nazaryan was found dead in one of the border bases in Chinari villages on July 27, 2010. Though Nazaryan was officially announced to have committed suicide, his relatives claim that the 30-year-old lieutenant was murdered.
Five accused have been named in the case.
