YEREVAN. – Health of famous Armenian actor and comedian Vardan Petrosyan has gone worse, his lawyer said.

Lawyer Nikolay Baghdasaryan visited Petrosyan who is currently in the prison hospital, the lawyer himself told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“He was visited by doctors yesterday. He is not complaining about the conditions,” the lawyer noted.

A major accident occurred on October 20 in Kotayk Region. A BMW and a VAZ 2121-model vehicle crashed at around 9:20pm on the Yeghvard-Yerevan motorway. As a result, seven people sustained injuries and were transferred to several hospitals. Among them was famous actor and comedian Vardan Petrosyan. As a result of the accident, however, cousins Edgar and Eduard Hakobyan—who were passengers in the VAZ 2121—had died.

A criminal case is instituted on the incident. Subsequently, Vardan Petrosyan was formally arrested.
