Former Prime Ministers of Armenia Vazgen Manukyan, Khosrov Harutyunyan, Karen Karapetyan as well as former PM of Artsakh Republic Anushavan Danielyan plan to submit personal guarantees in court to change the detention measure for Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan currently held in custody.
As Kocharyan’s defense team reported in a press statement, the necessary documentation is currently being prepared by the lawyers to file the respective petition during the upcoming court hearing.
To remind, in 2018 similar petition was submitted by Artsakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan and second President of Artsakh Arkady Ghukasyan who provided a public guarantee necessary for Kocharyan’s release from custody until the end of trial. The court under the presiding judge Davit Grigoryan heard the motion then and released Kocharyan from pre-trial custody.
