Thursday’s court case on second President Robert Kocharyan’s lawsuit against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Armenia has adjourned.

Pashinyan's legal representative motioned that the court session be rescheduled in order for him to examine the full version of Pashinyan's speech made at Yerevan’s Republic Square on March 1 last year, and the court granted the defense's motion.

The next court hearing will take place on February 28.

The aforesaid 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.
