Court`s verdict on request for release of Robert Kocharyan on bail to  be announced on September 20

ArmInfo. The court's verdict regarding the defense's request for the release of Robert Kocharyan on bail will be announced on the evening of September 20.

"There is not a single fact that can raise doubts about Kocharyan's  intentions to hide from the investigation, hinder his progress, as  well as any other similar acts. Today they are not presented to the  court and cannot be presented," Khudoyan stated.

Robert Kocharyan also made a statement, joining the motion of his  defense, recalling that he had never made an attempt to evade the  investigation or the court. He spoke out in the sense that he and his  other colleagues who are in the dock today, the people who created  the Armenian army and all of them have nothing to fear, and that  justice will certainly prevail.  It should be noted that the court of  general jurisdiction of Yerevan, chaired by Anna Danibekyan, decided  today to leave  former president Kocharyan in custody, thereby  rejecting the request for immediate release from custody and the  dismissal of the case.

According to Kocharyan's lawyer Hayk Alumyan, this decision will be  appealed in the Court of Appeal.
