The prosecutor asked the judge to set rational time limit to change the indictment against some of the accused. The motion was satisfied.
Misak Martirosyan reminded of his announcement made during the previous court session stating that the prosecution is just killing the time trying to delay the hearing. Misak Martirosyan asked to hold a speech in the coming court session as well.
