"Arthur Vanetsyan said that they pressured me to finish this case." Hrayr Tovmasyan
"Will you let me read the statement of former NSS director Artur Vanetsyan that he was assigned and pressured to file a criminal case against me?" Are you not interested in how this criminal case was born, is it an illegitimate or a legitimate child?" Hrayr Tovmasyan asked the judge during his defense speech. Judge Tatevik Grigoryan did not allow it, saying: "In your speech, present such circumstances and refer to such facts, evidences, which were investigated and examined during the trial."
