ArmInfo.The lawyer of the second President of Armenia Hovhannes Khudoyan submitted a petition for granting Kocharyan legal status of the victim in a criminal case about wiretapping a telephone conversation between the heads of the National Security Service and the Special Investigation Service of Armenia. This was reported by Khudoyan himself.
"The petition is submitted to the IC, taking into account the fact that the content of the published record contains data confirming the fact of taking actions aimed at unlawful restriction of Robert Kocharyan's freedom. I think the recognition of the procedural status will be legitimate, and the rejection will call into question the objectivity of the preliminary investigation" stated Khudoyan.
To note, on October 1, a record of the wiretap of the conversation between the heads of the NSS and the SIS appeared in the network, during which they discussed the case on March 1, 2008, and in this context the need for Kocharyan's arrest. The head of the National Security Service, Artur Vanetsyan, said that the orderers and performers of the wiretapping have already been identified, they are from Armenia and widely known to the public. At the same time, he stressed that documenting their guilt at this stage will be very difficult, almost impossible.
