Bako Sahakyan, Arkady Ghoukasyan to be invited to court to reaffirm guarantees for Kocharyan’s release

Hovhannes Khudoyan, lawyer of Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan recited today at the court the letter of guarantee of the Artsakh president Bako Sahakyan and second president Arkady Ghoukasyan requesting to release Robert Kocharyan under their personal guarantees.

“We guarantee that in case of release of Artsakh’s first and Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan the latter will display proper behavior, will not impede the examination of the case, will not avoid from being summoned up to investigative body, will not undertake any action not allowed by the Criminal Code. Our request is to change the preventive measure,” the lawyer recited the letter.

Judge Davit Grigoryan stated that people who express readiness to stand as guarantors, according to the law, must be invited to the court and claim their guarantees.

In response, Khudoyan asked the court to provide time to find out whether Arkady Ghoukasyan and Bako Sahakyan may attend the court hearing.
