The trial in the case of Robert Kocharian is scheduled for May 8

Arminfo, Armenia

ArmInfo. The court hearing on the  case of the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharian and others  is scheduled for May 8. The lawyer of ex-head of state Aram  Vardevanyan wrote about this on his Facebook page.

Meanwhile, the lawyer expressed his dissatisfaction with this fact,  since the petition, according to him, is subject to immediate  consideration, especially taking into account the current  epidemiological situation.  Recall that the request to change the  measure of restraint of the ex-president from arrest to personal  surety should have been submitted on March 17, however, on March 13,  judge Anna Danibekyan presented a document on temporary disability,  and therefore the court session did not take place. The defense has  previously criticized the fact that no other judge was appointed to  consider the application. We also add that former Prime Ministers of  Armenia Vazgen Manukyan, Khosrov Harutyunyan, Karen Karapetyan and  ex- Prime Minister of Artsakh Anushavan Danielyan are ready to make a  guarantee. Robert Kocharian is being accused in the March 1, 2008  case. The charges were brought under Article 300.1 of the RA Criminal  Code (Overthrow of the Constitutional System).
