The claims of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia that second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan hadn’t taken any action to impact investigation while being in liberty for five consecutive months because he feared that the decision on release would be annulled, are groundless. This is what Kocharyan’s attorney Hayk Alumyan told reporters after the trial in the Criminal Court of Appeal.

“The arguments of the Prosecutor General’s Office are groundless simply because if, as they say, Robert Kocharyan hadn’t taken any action in the past since the court was investigating the prosecutor’s appeal, then, based on their logic, Kocharyan also won’t take any action now so that the decision, if rendered, isn’t annulled. This means their argument is against them. However, this is not the most important reason why Robert Kocharyan won’t have any impact on investigation. The most important reason is that he isn’t preparing to take any action at all,” the attorney emphasized.
