ArmInfo. Second Armenian President Robert Kocharian will not participate in the elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan. This radio "Azatutyun" was told in the office of the ex-president.
According to the source, since Robert Kocharyan is a person under investigation, his passport is in law enforcement bodies and he has no opportunity to express his position.
Note that Robert Kocharian is held as a defendant in the criminal case on the events of March 1, 2008. He is charged with the overthrow of the Constitutional system. The other day the decision of the Court of Appeal Kocharyan was released from arrest on the grounds of immunity prescribed by the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia. However, the Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia appealed to the Court of Cassation for the purpose of reviewing the decision of the second instance court.
So far, the question of the possibility of the participation of the first and third presidents - Levon Ter- Petrosyan and Serzh Sargsyan - remains unclear.
