Agnessa Khamoyan: What happened to second president`s family not  surprise 

ArmInfo. What happened to the family of the second president of the Republic of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, was not unexpected; it was expected. Agnessa Khamoyan, a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia from the  opposition "Armenia" faction, told journalists on August 25.

According to her, since 7:00 a.m., officers from the "Alpha" special  forces unit have been conducting searches of the homes of Robert and  Levon Kocharyan. Moreover, searches are being conducted at all  companies in which members of the Kocharyan family have an interest.  "I don't know what case the searches are being conducted for. In  Stalin's time, they used to say: if there's a man, a charge will be  found.  If there's a political decision, a charge will definitely be  found. None of this came as a surprise-it was to be expected. After  Levon Kocharyan's statement yesterday, we immediately recorded that  certain actions would be taken," she said. Khamoyan added that Nikol  Pashinyan gave direct instructions to the law enforcement system from  the National Assembly rostrum yesterday.

As a reminder, the Anti-Corruption Committee has been conducting a  search since early this morning at the home of Levon Kocharyan, a  member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia from the  Armenia faction. Following this, it was reported that second  President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharyan and his son  Sedrak Kocharyan had been detained. According to the Anti-Corruption  Committee, searches and other procedural actions are being conducted  at several dozen addresses as part of the criminal investigation.  Early this morning, security forces raided the home of second  President Robert Kocharyan, taking him to the Anti-Corruption  Committee. It's worth noting that all of this occurred after a verbal  altercation between Levon Kocharyan and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan in parliament the previous day. Pashinyan questioned how  Kocharyan managed to become a millionaire during his 10 years in  power. The prime minister stated that Levon Kocharyan's children will  not inherit his millions because all illegally acquired property must  be returned, and from the entire "Kocharyan and Sargsyan clan," and  called the attention of law enforcement to this. Levon Kocharyan, in  turn, stated that in a democratic country, the head of government has  no right to make such statements and declare someone guilty without  grounds.
