ArmInfo. Son of former President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan - Levon Kocharyan, commented on the scandalous news, regarding to supporters of his father.
It should be noted that on December 19, two scandals broke out, one of which concerned the statement signed by some cultural figures of Armenia and Russia to change the preventive measure of Kocharyan, and the second - the attempts of a certain supporter of the former President to outbid one of the witnesses in the case of the events of March 1, 2008.
In the first case, the scandal was the fact that some of the cultural figures whose names appeared in the statement, in an interview with the media, either refused the document, or simply turned off their phones or did not answer the calls. Meanwhile, in a conversation with reporters on December 20, Levon Kocharyan noted that all those whose names were included in the statement were familiarized with the text and gave their consent. Apparently, the consent was verbal, since there were no signatures under the text, however, the former president's son assured that he had evidence confirming the authenticity of his words.
At the same time, Kocharyan said that he does not condemn those who backtracked, because after this statement in the media there was a big noise. As for the second scandal related to the attempt to bribe witnesses (as evidenced by the corresponding shoot), here he did not exclude the possibility that this could be rigged in anticipation of the meeting of the Court of Appeal.
To recall, today the Court of Appeal rejected the request of Robert Kocharyan's lawyers against the decision of the trial court to refuse to change his preventive measure from arrest to bail. Robert Kocharyan is accused in the March 1, 2008 case.
