ArmInfo. Lawyer of the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan Hovhannes Khudoyan sent a new petition to the court to cancel the preventive measure against Kocharyan. Lawyer of the second president of Armenia Hovhannes Khudoyan stated this in an interview with ArmInfo correspondent.
He noted that the petition is based on the fact that Kocharyan, due to the spread of the coronavirus outbreak in the country, is at risk due to age.
In addition, the lawyer also appealed to the chairman of the court of general jurisdiction of Yerevan to transfer this application to another judge. Khudoyan emphasized that the head of the court has these powers.
It should be noted that the trial in the case of Robert Kocharyan and other persons involved in the case on March 1 was constantly adjourned due to the health of Judge Anna Danibekyan.
To recall, the lawyers made a request for the release of the second president of Armenia under personal guarantee. Ex-prime ministers of Armenia Vazgen Manukyan, Khosrov Harutyunyan, Karen Karapetyan and former Prime Minister of Artsakh Anushavan Danielyan made this guarantee.
Anna Danibekyan received a disability bulletin from March 13 to April 16. On April 16, the judge went to work, however, on the same day she went on vacation, which will last until May 7. The next hearing in the Kocharyan case will be held on May 8.
