ArmInfo. Participants of the protest action "Hello, Rob" are now marching towards the building of the Prosecutor General's Office. They demand to file a cassation appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeals on release of Robert Kocharyan and to arrest him again. Thus, Kocharyan's press conference has failed.
According to the demonstrators, they achieved their first goal - to fail Kocharyan's press conference, the next one should be the second president's re-arrest.
Yesterday, the Armenian Court of Appeal granted the petition of the lawyers of the former President Robert Kocharyan and canceled the decision of the first instance court. According to his lawyer Ruben Sahakyan, the constitutional rule on the inviolability of the former heads of state became the basis for changing the measure of restraint. "The decision of the Armenian Criminal Court of Appeal is illegal, the Criminal Court of Appeal went beyond its powers," the Special Investigation Service (SIS) stated in response to this decision. "We hope that the prosecutor's office will file a cassation appeal," the SIS said.
