The court case on second President Robert Kocharyan’s lawsuit against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Armenia resumed Thursday in Yerevan.

This civil lawsuit refers to the slanderous remarks made by Pashinyan during the rally in Yerevan's Republic Square on March 1 last year.

In April, Kocharyan's lawyer, Hayk Alumyan, had filed a lawsuit with a request to defend his client’s honor and dignity from public expressed slander and a compensation for non-pecuniary damage caused by this slander.
