ArmInfo.Judge of the Court of Appeal Armen Danielyan rejected the request of the lawyers of the second president Robert Kocharian to withdraw. The ArmInfo correspondent reports about this from the scene.
It should be noted that when submitting this petition, Kocharian's lawyers stated that the judge's actions testify to his bias.
Note that the court is considering the complaint submitted by the prosecutor. In particular, the decision of the court of general jurisdiction to provide Kocharyan's lawyers with the materials of this case in full is appealed. As the prosecutor Petros Petrosyan stated earlier, since the materials of the case under investigation are not subject to publication, providing lawyers would be a violation of the law. In turn, the lawyers say that they want to get acquainted with the case materials before its resumption, and in general, if the materials that need to be presented in the interests of the client will be discovered, this can be done in closed session.
