Lawyer: Pashinyan enjoys keeping Kocharyan in custody
Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan has been in freedom for around five months during the criminal probe into the case involving him, but he has never made any attempt to influence or obstruct the investigation, Hayk Alumyan, a member of Kocharyan’s defense team, said during a program on Pastinfo.
He believes under such conditions the ex-president in being kept in custody solely to please one person – Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
The lawyer also referred to the possible outcomes of their motion to drop the criminal charges against the former president, the new petitions they plan to file and the developments around the defense team’s appeal to the ECHR.
