The “criminal case” against His Holiness and 6 bishops will be heard in Armavir. The Court of Cassation has made such a decision. The Judicial Department reports this.
Let us recall that two judges of the General Jurisdiction Court of Armavir Region, Hakob Manukyan and Serzh Rushanyan, have already refused to hear this case. Manukyan had withdrawn his candidacy, arguing that he was granted a lawyer’s license in that case by lawyer Ara Zohrabyan. And Serzh Rushanyan had decided that the case should be heard in Yerevan. Judge Vahagn Melikyan of the General Jurisdiction Court of Yerevan had already decided to send the case to the Court of Cassation to determine in which court the case should be heard.
