The lawyer of the Armenian second president Robert Kocharyan, Aram Orbelyan, has filed a lawsuit against the country's PM Nikol Pashinyan.

Sedrak Asatryan, the director of the Concern Dialogue CJSC, said that the reason was the unverified statements made by Pashinyan at a meeting with the YES campaign in Kajaran against the company's senior partner, lawyer Aram Orbelyan.

According to Pashinyan, the lawyer allegedly “was in the Constitutional Court several times when the CC was considering the case on March 1.”

The lawyer Aram Orbelyan appealed to the court with a demand to refute the statement and to compensate for moral damage.

The lawyer already filed a similar claim on February 29 in connection with similar statements made on January 30. He has also appealed to the NSS and the television station’s directorate with a request to provide information that served as the basis for such allegations.

The TV channel did not respond to the request, while the NSS noted the criminal case will not be initiated amid the absence of corpus delicti in the actions of the police.
