"Sasna Tsrer" about  rallies in support of Robert Kocharian: the  political path of the second president of Armenia was bloody

ArmInfo.The Sasna Tsrer Party made a statement in connection with the rallies demanding the release of the second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharian.The statement noted that Kocharyan's political path was bloody.

"His rule in Armenia ended on March 1, 2008,when people were shot in the center of  Yerevan. His supporters in Stepanakert, during the rally, rejected  the idea of the need to unite Artsakh and Armenia. For Robert  Kocharyan and his supporters, a state is needed in which they will be  in power, "the statement says.The statement also notes that while in  support of a person who is accused of overthrowing the constitutional  order, rallies are held, Armen Bilyan and Smbat Barseghyan (members  of the Sasna Crer group - Ed.) are in prison. In conclusion, the  representatives of the party call on them to abandon double standards  and release from prison all worthy people, in particular, Armen  Bilyan and Smbat Barseghyan.

It should be noted that on December 11, about 80 people responded to  the appeal of the initiative group "Freedom to the President"  demanding the immediate release from detention of the second  President of Armenia, Robert Kocharian. According to participants of  the protest action, unprecedented pressure was put on the courts of  the republic, and if Robert Kocharyan was not released, this would  mean the absence of independent courts in the country.Recall that on  December 7, the Court of Appeal upheld the verdict of the first  instance for the arrest of RA 2nd President Robert Kocharian. Without  waiting for the transfer of the verdict to the investigator, Robert  Kocharyan himself appeared in the "Kentron" penitentiary unit, where  he was later arrested.The office of the second president of Armenia  called the arrest a political vendetta. The RPA, however, qualified  this as pre-election pressure from the current government on  political opponents.
