ArmInfo. Second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, is located in a single, small cell of the Yerevan Center, but he did not present any complaints on this matter to the prison staff. Armenian Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan said this today in a conversation with journalists.
The only thing that the former president complained about, according to Tatoyan, is the absence of a computer in his cell. He also said that, until recently, Kocharyan was not allowed to meet with relatives, but after his petition, relatives received such an opportunity.
Tatoyan declined to answer the question of whether Kocharyan is a political prisoner:
To note, Robert Kocharyan was arrested on charges of overthrowing the constitutional order in the March 1, 2008 case.
