ArmInfo. The Faction of the Republican Party of Armenia collects signatures for releasing on bail the second president Robert Kocharyan, who was accused within the March 1, 2008 case in overthrowing the constitutional order.
As the sources in the RPA told ArmInfo, the amount of the pledge is not sgnificant- only 500 thousand drams. It is not known yet whether MPs from other factions will join this initiative. To note, Kocharyan's lawyers intend to appeal the decision of the court of general jurisdiction in the Court of Appeal today.
The RPA faction also stated that it intends to raise the issue of Kocharyan's arrest in international structures.
Kocharyan himself does not plead guilty, and considers the accusation to be politically fabricated.
