On January 18, the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan city decided to extend Robert Kocharyan’s detention for another two months.

Kocharyan’s lawyer said this in a conversation with journalists Aram Orbelyan։

Thus, the court satisfied the motion of the pre-investigative body, rejecting the motion of the defenders to change Kocharyan’s restraining order in exchange for bail.

For three days, the court considered the motion to extend Kocharyan’s detention for two months. The court adjourned to the conference room on January 16.

It should be reminded that on December 7, the Appellate Criminal Court decided to leave the decision of the first instance court unchanged, after which Kocharyan was detained. The defenders have already appealed this decision of the Appellant to the Court of Cassation. Kocharyan is accused of subverting the constitutional order.
