Chairman of Chamber of Advocates to act as lawyer of Khachatrian’s son
The Chairman of the Chamber of Advocates of Armenia Ruben Sahakian told Aysor.am that he will act as defense lawyer of Tigran Khachatrian, the son of the former governor of Syunik province Suren Khachatrian.
“They made me an offer and I accepted it,” he said.
When asked what steps he intends to take, Ruben Sahakian said he will take “steps of official character”.
We would remind you that on June 3 Tigran Khachatrian and the governor’s bodyguard, Zarzand Nikoghosian, were charged under the RA Criminal Code’s Article 104 part 2 point 6, Article 112 part 1, and Article 235 part 1. They are held in a pre-trial prison.
The Syunik regional court of general jurisdiction rejected the defense lawyers’ petition to release the two men on bail.
