Court displays hastiness over Kocharyan’s case: attorney

The examination of the petition submitted by Prosecutor General for arrest of Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan continued today.
Attorney Aram Orbelyan said they are still waiting to the response of the prosecutors’ staff to express their position over the complaints. Only after it the court will discuss the attorneys’ petitions.

“I do not think the court will manage physically to publish decision over preventive measure,” Orbelyan said, expressing idea that the court seems to display hastiness, inviting hearings every day despite being overburdened by cases.

The attorney said Kocharyan is present at the sitting and came up with defense speech.

He refused to unveil the details of Kocharyan’s speech, saying that there are connected with the judicial case, no political speeches were voiced.

The attorney said they are optimistic but cannot make any predictions.
