A Yerevan court today approved the personal guarantees from Artsakh’s President Bako Sahakyan and ex-President Arkady Ghukasyan to free former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan from pre-trial detention.
Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan has expressed concern that the possible escalation of situation in Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone can become a good opportunity for radical Islamists to re-locate in Azerbaijan.
“The Armenian PM will attend the economic forum in St. Petersburg”, the spokesman said.
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.
Armenia’s Ambassador to Ukraine Tigran Seyranyan presented his credentials to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian Presidential Office said.
Ex-President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan told a Yerevan court today during the ongoing 2008 post-election unrest trial that during that period authorities had video evidence that the protesters were armed and violent.
President of Artsakh Bako Sahakyan and ex-president Arkady Ghukasyan walked into the Yerevan court at 17:00 where ex-President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan is on trial. They have been requested to make an appearance regarding their personal guarantees requesting the release of Kocharyan from jail.
The trial of former President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan and other ex-officials over the 2008 March 1 case resumed on May 16.
The working visit of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to China is over, Armenpress correspondent reports from Beijing.
“Mr. Bako Sahakyan has an official meeting tomorrow. He does not want to miss that meeting but since the court ruled out any other option, I think they will come together to the court”, Alumyan said.
