The trial in the deadly road accident case involving well-known actor Vardan Petrosyan is continuing in a court in Kotayk marz. During today’s court hearing, the actor’s lawyer Nikolay Baghdasaryan petitioned to withdraw his motion submitted at the previous court session. During the previous session, Nikolay Baghdasaryan motioned the court to start criminal proceedings against Artur Hakobyan, the legal successor of the aggrieved party, for insulting the people participating in the trial and showing disrespect for them. Petrosyan was taken to jail in connection with the deadly road accident in October 2013 in which his BMW collided with another vehicle, Niva, on the Yeghvard-Yerevan highway. Two passengers of the Niva were killed in the crash. Petrosyan himself was among the injured people who were hospitalized that night. Petrosyan later declared that he would not run away from justice and was ready to bear responsibility if found guilty as charged.
