The decision on the case of the application of second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan has been posted on the website of the Constitutional Court of Armenia.

The Constitutional Court of Armenia on Wednesday partially granted the application of second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan, recognizing part 2 of Article 35 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Armenia as unconstitutional and invalid. Thus, it was recorded that there is no regulation for immunity among the circumstances excluding criminal prosecution referred to in part 2 of Article 35, and this is unconstitutional.

Instead, the Constitutional Court recognized the article related to the constitutionality of the grounds for applying a preventive measure (part 2 of Article 135 of the Criminal Procedure Code) as constitutional.
