Baku/13.09.19/Turan: The court of Yerevan, chaired by Anna Danibekyan, retired to make a decision on the application for the release of ex-President of Armenia Robert Kocharian. The decision will be announced on September 17 at 13:00. Kocharyan"s lawyers today petitioned for an immediate suspension of the criminal prosecution of Kocharyan, referring to the decision of the Constitutional Court of September 4. However, the prosecutor's office and those affected by the riots on March 1, 2008 opposed the release of Kocharyan. Kocharian is accused of overthrowing the constitutional order and repressions against protesters, because of which 10 people were killed. Earlier, the court had already arrested and released Kocharyan twice. -02D-
