ArmInfo.The Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia believes that during the press conference, the attorneys of the second RA President Robert Kocharian, referring to the positions presented by the prosecutors during the hearings in previous days on the issue of changing the preventive measure against Kocharyan, tried to play on public sentiment through various manipulations and distortions.
The statement of the Prosecutor General's Office notes: <In particular, there were unsubstantiated statements addressed to the prosecutor's office, absurd comments were made about the participation of the prosecutor general in court hearings, were taken out of context and interpreted in their own way by the prosecutor general's and other prosecutors participating in the court proceedings the trial - with unexplored evidence in the complex, were published fragments of video. Thus, in essence, the right of lawyers to exercise protection by all legal means was turned by them into the process of spreading misinformation, misleading the public through fraud and manipulation."
The prosecutor's office qualifies this as an unacceptable attempt to withdraw the process from the legal framework and transfer it to the emotional sphere, which, in addition to devaluing the trial process, is also fraught with extremely dangerous consequences of fomenting public sentiment. According to the prosecutor's office, this is nothing but a form of psychological, informational pressure on the court. "We will not succumb to such attempts at pressure, veiled intentions to engage the prosecutor's office in any discourses that go beyond logic, and the prosecution will continue to strictly fulfill its obligations under the law and the law," the General Prosecutor's Office press service said.
The prosecutor's office notes that <if these attempts continue to distort public opinion under the guise of organizing the defense, the prosecution will have to take measures, if necessary, to prevent attempts to spread and manipulate these falsifications generated by individual media, real or fake social network users, and provide providing the public with objective information, remaining true to the letter of the law.
