Robert Kocharyan visits opposition MP Armen Charchyan in hospital
Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan on Thursday visited famous doctor Armen Charchyan, the imprisoned MP from the opposition Armenia alliance, who is currently being treated in a civilian hospital in Yerevan, according to information obtained by NEWS.am.
To find out details about the visit, NEWS.am contacted Bagrat Mikoyan, the head of the second president's office. He confirmed the information about Kocharyan visiting Charchyan, but did not provide any other details.
The MP suffered an acute heart attack on August 24, has type 2 diabetes and is taking 92 units of insulin which is simply incompatible with his arrest and this incompatibility is also confirmed by a government decision.
Charchyan, the former head of the Izmirlian Medical Center, has been charged with an electoral offence after allegedly pressuring his employees to participate in the June 20 parliamentary elections and vote for the Armenia bloc.
