Court to continue examination of petition on changing Kocharyan’s preventive measure on January 10
The Yerevan court of general jurisdiction will continue examination of the petition of the defense team of Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan on January 10.
Earlier the defense team has applied for changing the preventive measure of Armenia’s second president from arrest to release on bail.
The petition was to be examined on December 28 but was postponed with the request of the investigator.
Attorney Hayk Alumyan stated today that the investigator has filed a petition on self-withdrawal of the judge Nelly Baghdasaryan. By the way the prosecutor too has applied for self-withdrawal of the judge.
Kocharyan is charged with the overthrow of constitutional order in the country. Former secretary general of the CSTO Yuri Khachaturov and ex defense minister Michael Harutyunyan are charged with the same article.
International search has been declared for Michael Harutyunyan.
