Armenia’s former President Robert Kocharyan has filed a lawsuit against the Republic of Armenia and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for “slander”, his lawyers said on Thursday.
The lawsuit is based on Pashinyan’s statements made during the March 1 rally at Republic Square in Yerevan.
The lawyers demand that the statements of the premier be declared “defamation” and renounced, as well as the presumption of innocence of the ex-president be recognized.
The total amount of compensation demanded for the violations is 4 million drams.
