Prosecutor General`s  Office prepares a cassation appeal against  judgment of the Appeal Court on Robert Kocharyan`s case 

ArmInfo. The RA Prosecutor  General's Office is preparing a cassation appeal against the judgment  of the Court of Appeal to release the second president of Armenia  Robert Kocharyan. This is reported by Azatutyun TV.

However, it is not yet reported when the complaint will be filed to  the Court of Cassation.  The decision of the Court of Appeal was also  received by the defense. Robert Kocharyan's lawyer Aram Orbelyan  noted that the group of lawyers is currently discussing their further  actions.

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.
