ArmInfo. All answers on the case of Robert Kocharian have already been givenvoiced, this case is a mockery of the law.

This is stated in the statement of the group of lawyers of the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. Lawyers, in particular, responded to the Prime Minister's statement about the alleged replacement of cartridges in the case of March 1, 2008. Pashinyan noted that during the trial, the public will receive  answers to all their questions.

The defense side emphasizes that the cartridges have nothing to do  with the disclosure of the case. <The presence of cartridges, as well  as other similar circumstances in no way affect the identification of  the causes of death of 10 people. In such cases, the identification  of the circumstances of death is affected by the identification of  cartridges and weapons. Moreover, in the statements of the SIS it is  noted that the substitution of cartridges in the case is not related  to the circumstances of the death of at least seven people. 

It is also unclear why the decision was made to refuse to plead  guilty and arrest Gegham Petrosyan (former deputy commander of the RA  police forces, former chief of police headquarters - Ed. note), who  is accused of killing one out of ten citizens. All this is done in  order to hide the causes of death of these persons>, the statement  emphasizes.

Lawyers also noted that the prime minister is trying to rewrite the  story, but all his attempts are doomed to failure. Lawyers noted that  all answers on the Kocharian case have long been given, and if the  prosecution has arguments that are hidden from the public, they can  be published today.  It should be noted that as a result of clashes  at opposition rallies that followed the 2008 presidential election in  Armenia, in which Serzh Sargsyan formally won, 10 people died on  March 1. The investigation is still ongoing. The second president of  Armenia, Robert Kocharian, and a number of high-ranking officials of  that time are taking part in the case on charges of overthrowing the  constitutional order.
