ArmInfo.During the interrogation of the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharian in the case of March 1, a video recording will be conducted. Sasun Khachatryan, head of the SIS, told journalists about it.
According to him, the relevant decision has already been taken. Nevertheless, as Khachatryan pointed out, this does not mean that the video material will be published or made public. The video will likely only be attached to the case.
Hhe head of the investigative body refrained to name the name as an investigator who would conduct the interrogation, and the head of the investigation team himself. "This is neither Edik Ghazaryan nor Mushegh Babayan," he said, stressing that he will abstain for today to name names in order to avoid unnecessary attention in their attitude.
The second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan was summoned on 26 July for interrogation in the SIS as a witness. The interrogation will take place at 12: 00. He also stipulated that the interrogation should be broadcasted live. The head of the SIS, Sasun Khachatrian, assured that if Kocharyan does not appear for an interrogation on July 26, appropriate measures will be taken. In turn, the head of the office of the second president Victor Soghomonyan assured that Kocharyan is personally interested in disclosing the events of March 1, so that henceforth his name will not be speculated.
"If all the processes take place in a legal rather than a political channel, Kocharyan has nothing to fear," Soghomonyan assured, while expressing bewilderment at the new formulations that appeared in the case. "For example, according to the materials of the cases, it turns out that the former government, which according to the norms of the Constitution, was responsible for securing the constitutional order, itself tried to overthrow it, and opposition presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosyan, who collected only 21.5% of the vote and proclaiming himself president, tried to preserve the constitutional order, it is nothing but legal nonsense, "Soghomonyan said. The former Defense Minister Mikael Harutyunyan is being charged with the case.
He is accused of trying to overthrow the constitutional system by intervening the army in political processes. Harutyunyan, however, is abroad, an international search has been declared for him. It should be noted that the protest actions against the results of the 2008 presidential elections, in which the victory was won by Serzh Sargsyan, resulted in riots and clashes between protestors and law enforcement forces, which killed ten people and injured more than 200.
