ArmInfo. The person  responsible for killing 10 people and attempting to overthrow the  constitutional order will not escape responsibility, Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan stated on August 17 at a rally dedicated to 100 days  of activities of the new government.  

According to him, not one  killer will escape responsibility. And their current excuses,  presenting themselves in the role of victims of political persecution  will not help. "I rule out the possibility of avoiding the  responsibility of those involved in the killing of 10 people during  the events of March 1, 2008," the Armenian government head stressed.

To note, Pashinyan did not name the names, but it is obvious to  everyone that he meant the second president of Armenia Robert  Kocharyan, who yesterday in an interview with the Yerkir Media TV  channel stated that he could become the first political prisoner in  Armenia. He also announced to his return to big politics.

To recall, on July 28 the first instance court of Shengavit district  of Yerevan granted the request of the Special Investigation Service  of Armenia  on choosing arrest as a measure of restraint against the   second President Robert Kocharyan for a period of 2 months for the   overthrow of the constitutional order in the criminal case on   dispersal protest actions on March 1, 2008.

On August 13 the Armenian Court of Appeal granted the petition of the   lawyers of ex-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. Sahakyan   called on to address the investigation the question of how the court   process should further proceed.  However, he did not rule out the   complete closure of the criminal case on the usurpation of state  power in 2008. 

On August 14 Kocharyan planned to give a press conference. However,  it did not take place, because it was failed by activists.
