During the court session on the March 1st case, second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan requested for reporters to leave the courtroom because he had an important announcement to make that could not be published. Lawyers said that he could make the announcement at the end of his speech. When the current President of Artsakh Bako Sahakyan and former President of Artsakh Arkadi Ghukasyan were present in the courtroom, Kocharyan requested that they be allowed to stay. “They also are aware of this secret.”
The judge said that, if a decision is to be made behind closed doors, then people from all sides need to leave the courtroom. Bako Sahakyan and Arkadi Ghukasyan were led outside quickly and they did not answer any of the reporters’ questions.
