Prosecutor General`s Office filed cassation appeal in case of  Kocharian and other defendants 

ArmInfo.The General Prosecutor's Office of Armenia appealed against the decision of the Court of Appeal to leave the decision on the termination of the  proceedings and the termination of the criminal prosecution against  the second President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharian and  others under Article 300.1.

"The appeal is ready, it was sent to the Court of Cassation, I cannot  say whether it was received or not. The Court of Appeal basically  agreed with the position of the first instance without additional  justification. The court simply agreed with them," Deputy Prosecutor  General of the Republic of Armenia Gevorg Baghdasaryan said on  December 14 in an interview with journalists.

Referring to the recent decision of the Constitutional Court that a  person who does not have the status of a MP and is deprived of  liberty cannot remain under arrest from the moment of acquiring MP  status, on the basis of which MPs of the Hayastan opposition faction  headed by former President Kocharian were released, Baghdasaryan  stated that he strongly disagrees with the statement that the  Constitutional Court has completely denied the position of the  Prosecutor General's Office. He recalled the provision of the RA  Basic Law that the permission of the National Assembly is required  for imprisonment and criminal prosecution. However, this permission  is no longer required to continue the criminal prosecution and  detention. That is, the Constitutional Court partly agreed and partly  disagreed with the Prosecutor General's Office, he noted.

According to him, the Prosecutor General's Office sees the danger of  distorting the will of the Constitution in the decision of the  Constitutional Court, which could become a dangerous precedent in the  future.
