YEREVAN. – Tuesday’s Yerevan court hearing on the criminal case against second President Robert Kocharyan and former deputy prime minister Armen Gevorgyan—who is now an MP of the opposition “Armenia” Faction in the National Assembly of Armenia—has been rescheduled.

Presiding Judge Anna Danibekyan informed the courtroom that statements were received from the defense lawyers.

Accordingly, attorney Hayk Alumyan is participating in the work of the dissertation defense commission at the Faculty of Law of the Yerevan State University, while reports were received from lawyers Hovhannes Khudoyan and Aram Orbelyan about their poor health conditions.

Considering that it is impossible to hold this court session without the attendance of the defense lawyers, the court decided to reschedule this hearing to February 8.

To note, the previous court hearing was rescheduled because a case of the coronavirus was reported in the family of ex-President Kocharyan.
