YEREVAN. – The 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—will resume Tuesday.

Earlier, the defense had motioned to lift or commute Kocharyan's precautionary measure, which is currently a bail of 2 billion drams (approx. US$4.7 million)

This motion was submitted during two closed court sessions and was ultimately denied.

Along the lines of the abovementioned criminal case, Robert Kocharyan and Armen Gevorgyan are charged with taking bribes—and based on the respective testimony of businesswoman Silva Hambardzumyan.
