ArmInfo. Head of the Robert Kocharyan's office Viktor Soghomonyan, shares the view of the defense, led by Hayk Alumian, that pressure is put on the trial.
"One cannot but agree with this, since it's true and there are a lot of different factual evidence," Soghomonyan told reporters on the margins of the first plenary session of Lazarev Club in Yerevan, without going into details about what facts speech
Answering the question whether he shares the opinion, the case around businessman Samvel Mayrapetyan and the case around Kocharyan are interconnected, a representative of the office of the second president of the Republic of Armenia stated that if we analyze publications in the media, such a connection exists, however, he himself, except for one episode, finds it difficult to say how.
Soghomonyan also commented on the statements about Kocharyan's connection with the case around the "wiretapping" of the conversation of the head of the National Security Service with the head of the SIS, noting that he did not hear the more absurd accusation. "I can only repeat what I've said before: I didn't hear any more absurdities. Kocharyan's team is not a special service or a spy organization to go to wiretap. Let them find the perpetrators and punish them to the fullest extent of the law" Soghomonyan said.
At the same time, he urged not to forget about the content of the conversation recording, expressing the conviction that it fully reflects the processes that are taking place in the country today. He also agreed with the fact that this phenomenon itself is negative. "In my opinion, the content of this record is a shameful stigma in our history," Soghomonyan summarized.
To note, during the well-known telephone conversation between the heads of the National Security Service and the SIS, they talked about the arrest of Robert Kocharian. According to the record, the head of the National Security Service, Arthur Vanetsyan, stated that Kocharian's arrest is necessary.
