The Court of Appeals will be examining a case from Robert Kocharyan’s lawyers to appeal a decision made by the First Instance Court to lengthen Kocharyan’s detainment by two months.
The second President of Armenia was accused of violating the Armenian constitutional order during the events of March 1st in a notorious criminal case. Regarding this accusation, one of Kocharyan’s lawyers, Ruben Sahakyan, considered it to be “legal ignorance.” “I think that Levon Ter-Petrossian tried to violate the constitutional order in 2008,” the lawyer expressed.
Ruben Sahakyan claimed, “The President of the Republic has immunity, but if people say the opposite, then that is ignorance.”
Regarding the 0038 order, which caused troops to raise arms, Ruben Sahakyan said that this was done because two of the Deputy Ministers of Defense wanted to get the army involved in political processes.
