ArmInfo. The lawyers of the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan submitted to the Court of Appeal an appeal on the decision of the court of first instance on the arrest. This was reported by one of the lawyers of Kocharyan - Aram Orbelyan.
For today, he refrained from giving reasons for appealing, stressing that the decision will be appealed on several points - starting from possible procedural violations, to the inviolability of the ex-president. In addition, as the lawyer pointed out, a document signed by the deputies with a demand to release Robert Kocharyan was presented along with the statement. Aram Orbelyan noted that other factions, in addition to the faction of the Republican Party of Armenia, joined the document. Who exactly, he refused to say.
Meanwhile, an hour earlier the head of the Kocharyan office, Viktor Soghomonyan said that already 41 MPs of the Armenian parliament, including Speaker Ara Babloyan, had personally pledged to change the preventive measure against the second RA President Robert Kocharian.
The Court of Appeal is expected to consider the complaint lodged by them within 10 days.
