The second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, described the situation surrounding the failure to overcome the immunity of General Yuri Khachaturov, the former Secretary General of the CSTO, as a classic example of the careless work of the investigation. Speaking at the session of the anti-corruption court and expressing his opinion on Khachaturov's lawyer's motion to stop the criminal prosecution, Kocharyan noted that the court has to deal with its consequences now. "If there was a problem with the representative, you would call back and then start a new case. That's it," remarked the former president. He reminded that when he was the head of the state, he actively participated in CSTO activities and was aware of the procedures. "It was Armenia's turn to nominate a candidate for the Secretary General. If there is a problem with the representative, call back. The procedure will be completed, then do whatever you want. They made the simple issue complicated, complicated it, committed a number of illegalities, put the prosecutor in an uncomfortable position," the former president enumerated. According to him, there were several options for solving the issue: either to overcome the immunity at the session of the Collective Security Council, or to start the recall procedure, or to wait for the end of the powers. To the question of judge Sargis Petrosyan, whether there was a similar situation during his presidency, Kocharyan gave a negative answer. "During my time, we joined the CSTO. All the issues were discussed at the meetings of the National Assembly," the former president recorded. Characterizing the created situation, he noted. "Heads of states appoint someone, then they judge him (in the homeland: ed.). In this way, the hierarchy cannot be violated. If the country cannot wait for the end of the term and wants to start a case, it withdraws and then does whatever it wants," he repeated. Kocharyan added that this is not the only case, the participants of the court process have repeatedly witnessed how the accusation ends up in an awkward situation due to careless actions of the investigation, and the court does not know how to proceed. to the examination of many problematic issues. Commenting on the fact that at one time the issue of Khachaturov's immunity was commented on by the then Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Ruben Rubinyan, Kocharyan noted that it was not Rubinyan who should have said something, but the Foreign Ministry should have followed up in order to The process went right. Kocharyan explained the haste of Rubinyan's actions by the fact that it was his first position.
