Head of the Second President Robert Kocharyan’s office Victor Soghomonyan stated at a press conference today that both the case and the detention are absolutely illegal.

“This is obvious political and personal persecution. This is a vendetta, this is a political scandal that does not fit in any legal field and has no legal justification.

I am sorry that this case, which is extremely important for the history of Armenia, has become a “hostage” for political goals. I regret that the statements of the current authorities and their actions are diametrically different from each other.

We demand and shall insist on his immediate release of, change the measure of restraint,” Victor Soghomonyan said.
