“First of all, this is very dangerous” — this is the first response of international law expert, attorney Ara Ghazaryan to the statement that Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan made via his Facebook page, stating that the entrances to and exits from all courts of the Republic of Armenia must be blocked starting from 08:30 tomorrow morning and that he will give a speech live at 12:00.
“Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan has instructed citizens of the Republic of Armenia to block the entrances to and exits from all Armenian courts.

A while ago, state and political figure Davit Shahnazaryan addressed President of the Republic of Armenia Armen Sarkissian with the following call:
Shortly after a Yerevan court ordered Robert Kocharyan to be freed from pre-trial detention, the ex-president was released from the National Security Service jail in downtown of the city.

‘I am confident gas price reduction is realistic”, Pashinyan said, adding that it’s not only about the gas tarif, but the effectivness of the Eurasian Economic Union in general.
Robert Kocharyan gave a speech during the court session. He referred to the famous consultation of February 23 (consultation with military command staff in 2008) and presented details over it.
This is a very important and principled issue for us. We again touched upon this issue during the discussion, because what we do for our country, what we call values and build our country, the call of the Velvet revolution which relates to values, democracy, human rights, rule of law, equal social conditions, is our choice.
I am confident that the negotiation process will continue, and it is very important now to return Nagorno Karabakh to the negotiation table. It’s impossible to achieve the settlement of this conflict without Karabakh.
