There are rumors that second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan has paid his legal team 200,000 USD in order to defend him in court. One of his lawyers, Hayk Alumyan, responded to this. “To be honest, I don’t know how much the other lawyers are paid. We do not all receive the same amount. I can say that my salary is high, but it is not as high as people say. I don’t want to say how much it is, but it is very high. However, I haven’t been taking on any new cases for a long time; my old cases are still open. In any case, I am pleased with how much I am paid.”
