Lawyer’s claim about Kocharyan being banned to see 2,5 years old grandchild untrue
Armenia’s Special Investigation Service issued a clarification regarding the statement of Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan’s lawyer about the ban of seeing 2,5 years old grandchild.
SIS says that agreed with the interests of preliminary investigation of March 1 criminal case on July 28, 2018 a decision was made to ban visits of close relatives, mass media representatives as well as any communication of Kocharyan with outside world.
“On April 4, 2019 lawyer Hovhannes Khudoyan submitted written mediation to allow Robert Kocharyan to see 2,5 years old grandchild. On the next day, April 5, with the decision of the head of the investigative group the child was allowed to see Robert Kocharyan,” the SIS statement says, adding that the claim of Kocharyan’s lawyer Aram Orbelyan that Kocharyan is banned to see grandchild does not correspond to reality.
