There are certain problems related to the detention of Robert Kocharyan, the second president of Armenia, in the penitentiary. His lawyer Aram Orbelyan stated this in a conversation with journalists. According to him, most of the problems are of technical nature. The biggest thing is to obstruct the former president's political activities. he heads the "Armenia" bloc, now his meetings with party members are limited. "He should have the opportunity to communicate and discuss, especially considering the existing challenges," the lawyer emphasized. He noted that the detention itself is problematic, and that decision has been appealed. "What he is accused of has nothing to do with the crime. He fulfilled his duties by signing the government's decisions in accordance with the Constitution. He was held responsible for fulfilling his constitutional duties," Orbelyan stated, adding that if he refused to sign, he would be charged with obstructing the activities of another body. According to Orbelyan, at the same time, the economic part of the accusation ignores the fact that 20 years have passed and the prices of land and real estate have changed significantly. Before the active development of Yerevan, prices were significantly lower, everyone remembers that, the lawyer noted, emphasizing that there is no crime in the actions of all other citizens who bought land and real estate and � There is no crime in the actions of Robert and Sedrak Kocharyans when selling at prices lower than the current ones. Options of applying to various international judicial, legal and human rights structures are being discussed, the lawyer noted.
