Kocharyan’s attorney petitions to recognize him victim in sidelines of wiretapping case

Representative of the Armenia’s second president Hovhannes Khudoyan has filed a petition to recognize Robert Kocharyan as a victim in the margins of the criminal case being investigated in the Investigative Committee over the wiretapped conversation between the director of the NSS and SIS chief, press service of Kocharyan’s attorney group told Aysor.am.

The petition has been filed considering the circumstance that the leaked recording contains data which confirm that Kocharyan’s arrest is illegal.

Khudoyan said recognition of procedural status will be legitimate while the denial will put under doubt the objectiveness of the investigation.

Criminal case has been filed over the wiretapping of conversation between NSS director Artur Vanetsyan and Special Investigation Service chief Sasun Khachatryan on “abuse of power”.

Investigative Committee chairman's advisor Sona Truzyan told Aysor.am that the body has received the petition.

"It will be discussed according to the order established by the Criminal Proceeding Code and the results will be presented to the person who submitted the petition," she said.
