The questioning of Radik Matevosyan, one of the survivors, continued during the regular court session in the case of the fire in the Vardenis military shelter held on Friday. As in the case of other survivors, parents of the victims, lawyers, prosecutors, the judge interrupted, doubted what was said, urged the boy to speak, threatened. The session was interrupted when the angry parents were taken out of the hall. The dispute was moved to the court yard, because the people who came with this witness did not tolerate the insults directed at their relative. This time, the judge joined the assessment often heard during the previous sessions. "There is an impression that it was not a military unit, but a farm." Who created that bard? Who created it? The parent's question remained unanswered. The lawyer of the parents, Norayr Norikyan, asked how the soldier addressed the guilty commander Captain Yeghishe Hakobyan and repeatedly repeated "Egho". Yeghishe Hakobyan once again gave an extraordinary testimony, as in the case of previous witnesses, due to the contradiction in Radik Matevosyan's testimony. Other commanders participating in the meeting, who were not present at the scene of the fire, tried to refute the claims about the chastity complex with their statements. According to one of the officers, the military unit was recognized as superior. When the ex-soldier confirmed several times that he and his comrades went out on patrol with the same weapon, one of the officers asked: "Did it happen that you set up a guard with someone else's weapon?" "You also know that it happened," answered Matevosyan. At the end, the judge invited the next witness, Tigram Manaseryan, to the hall and notified that the next session will take place on November 22, at 12:00 in the Sevan court.
