The second president of RA, Robert Kocharyan, will remain in custody. such a decision was published by RA Appeal Criminal Court judge Mnatsakan Harutyunyan a little while ago.

The court thus rejected the voluminous appeal presented by the defense.

Kocharyan’s defense attorneys filed an appeal after the decision of the court of first instance on January 18.

The Court of First Instance, by its decision of January 18, granted the request of the investigator of the Special Investigation Service to extend the period of detention of Robert Kocharyan and rejected the defense’s request to replace the detention chosen as a preventive measure against Robert Kocharyan with bail as an alternative preventive measure.
