EU does not comment on individual cases: EU commissioner on Kocharyan’s case
Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn refused to comment on the arrest of Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan and on the criminal case brought against him.
“I know who expect comment, but whether it is a noisy or less noisy case, we usually do not comment individual cases,” the commissioner said at a joint news conference with Armenia’s Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan.
“In our perception it is an issue of rule of law and of judicial system. We must not comment not to have any influence,” the EU commissioner said.
