ArmInfo. Lawyer of the second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, Sevak Torosyan, in written form notified French President Emmanuel Macron about the course of the lawsuits.
Torosyan himself at a press conference announced this on November 18. According to him, he recently sent a detailed official letter to President Macron, outlining in it information regarding the events around Kocharyan over the past year. "Less than a month later, just the other day, I received a letter from Macron in which he assured that France was following the trial," the lawyer said.
Torosyan said that he had been informing international structures about the course of the trial over Kocharyan for a year now. Meanwhile, according to him, information on the consideration of the case of the former President goes abroad and through various embassies too.
The lawyer also stated that the trial against Robert Kocharyan is politicized, and he believes that the judicial system is under pressure.
To recall, Robert Kocharyan is being accused in the case of March 1, 2008. Earlier, the Constitutional Court of Armenia appealed to the ECHR to provide an advisory opinion regarding compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia with Article 300.1 of the Criminal Code. Under this article (Overthrow of the constitutional order), Robert Kocharyan is charged. The ECHR accepted the appeal of the Constitutional Court on October 2, and the Grand Chamber of the ECHR was formed on October 7. The National Assembly and Kocharyan have the right to submit written comments by November 19 of this year. Other interested parties, with the exception of the parties to the internal proceedings, who wish to submit written comments on this issue, must request permission before November 12, and send their comments no later than December 4 of the current year.
