ArmInfo. My criminal case is completely fabricated, and we will ensure that you recuse yourself. The second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan stated this on June 14 to the court, addressing the judge on the case of March 1, 2008 Armen Danielyan.
It is noteworthy that Seda Safaryan, a lawyer to the legal successors of the victims on March 1, 2008, demanded the judge's recusal because the trial of this case was held under his presidency years earlier. According to Safaryan, for this reason, Danielyan cannot be impartial in this process. In turn, Kocharyan noted: "I hope that you will recuse yourself. Based on the voiced opinions of the parties about distrust of you, I urge you again - stay away from this case, it smells bad. People who fabricated this case will be attracted to the strictest responsibility for that, do not get into this process, you can not handle it, "the second president emphasized. Kocharyan's defense also demanded the judge's disqualification, but the latter did not satisfy the petition of the parties.
