The lawyers of Armenia's ex-president Robert Kocharyan have joined the opposition rally underway at Republic Square in Yerevan and haven't attended the hearing in the case of an alleged overthrow of the constitutional order involving Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan.  

As the lawyers said in  a released statement, the defense team has been notified from the Staff at the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction that the next hearing was scheduled for 18 January, 2021.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
