ArmInfo.The second president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan stated during the court session that he was afraid of catching a coronavirus infection. The parliamentary correspondent of ArmInfo reported from the scene.
<Despite the fact that I am in single confinement, the probability of contracting a coronavirus still exists. After all, I am in contact with employees of the penitentiary institution. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of the penitentiary employees attend work every three days, and during this time they can become infected with a coronavirus. After all, we do not know what they are doing at this time. Moreover, about 90% of the penitentiary employees are young people and their illness may have no symptoms>, Kocharyan emphasized.
Also, the second president of Armenia said that the outsourcing company supplies the food to the penitentiary, but there are no guarantees that the food is prepared in compliance with all safety standards. <It is not clear whether this food is tested or not. Yes, employees of the penitentiary institution observe all safety precautions, they wear masks and gloves, however, the building does not have ventilation and other conditions necessary to prevent the virus, "Kocharyan emphasized. It should be noted that the lawyers of the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan submitted a lawsuit to the administrative court. The defense of the second president of Armenia noted that due to the spread of coronavirus infection in the country, Kocharyan is at risk due to age and health problems and must be freed. To recall, Robert Kocharyan is accused of overthrowing the Constitutional system in Armenia as part of the events of March 1, 2008.
