Viktor Soghomonyan, the head of the office of the second president of RA, Robert Kocharyan, describes the accusation against Kocharyan in the “March 1” case as false and demands his immediate release.

The Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan satisfied the 2nd President of RA Robert Kocharyan motion to detain. Kocharyan was detained for 2 months.

As an accused, Kocharyan is involved in the crime of clashes following the 2008 presidential elections, which resulted in the murder of 10 people. To him, AKP General Secretary Yuri Khachaturov and former Minister of Defense Mikael Harutyunyan accused of subverting the constitutional order.

“False accusations have been set with a clear goal, just to get Kocharyan arrested. Do you think they are revealing March 1st now? “Absolutely, a direct pursuit is being carried out,” he announced at the ongoing press conference, adding that this road leads nowhere, the disclosure of the circumstances of the murder of the ten victims is clearly not set in the case.

According to him, this case has the purpose of personal and political revenge.

“There are some tired ANM members who say that Kocharyan involved the army in political processes. Excuse me, who was it that dragged the army, the deputy ministers of defense into political processes, who dragged “Yerkrapah” into it, and where are those people now? Are we talking now, whispering, arresting Kocharyan quickly, shall we watch and be happy? Is this what we are talking about?” Soghomonyan said, writes Panorama.

According to him, the armed forces did not clash with the protesters during the events of March 1-2, 2008. “Mass riots took place, the president signed a decree on introducing a state of emergency, by which he had the right to use the armed forces to ensure security. “There is not a single wounded soldier,” said Soghomonyan.

According to him, there are people who focused on Kocharyan. “We have to find out who Beria is, and I assure you, we will find him and he will be punished. “It will not pass, the president will be released, those who illegally persecute him will be defeated,” he said.

According to Soghomonyan, during the past years, they allegedly created some kind of public expectation that Kocharyan is guilty, because he was a suitable target for blaming.

“This is nonsense. I am sure that the public will have many interesting revelations, because this case cannot remain like this. I am sure that a part of the society will at least understand that they have been misled for ten years and brought false facts. I am sorry that a part of society has become a victim of primitive propaganda,” he said.
