The Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction in the Avan and Nor Nork administrative districts published its decision on the deterrence method of second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. The court decided to accept the personal guarantees made by former President of Artsakh Arkadi Ghukasyan and current President of Artsakh Bako Sahakyan.
Applause, as well as people chanting “shame,” could be heard in the courtroom. However, the tension among citizens gathered outside the courtroom is growing.
Judge Davit Grigoryan began to hold meetings on Thursday evening.
On July 26, 2018, second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan was charged with a criminal offense on the basis of sufficient evidence obtained during the preliminary investigation by the Armenian Special Investigative Service for the criminal case on the events that took place in Yerevan from March 1, 2008 to March 2, 2008, under Article 300.1 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, for the fact that he overturned the constitutional order of the Republic of Armenia by prior agreement with other persons. On July 28, Kocharyan has been remanded into custody for two months. The Court of Criminal Appeals of the Republic of Armenia decided that President Robert Kocharyan should not remain in detention, and Kocharyan was released on August 13, 2018. On December 7, 2018 Kocharyan was arrested again following another ruling by the Court of Appeals. A decision was made by the court on February 7, 2019 for him to remain in detainment.
