ArmInfo.The European Court of Human Rights has registered complaints from the lawyers of the second President of the Republic of Armenia, Robert Kocharian. This  is reported by a group of lawyers of the second president of the  Republic of Armenia.  

According to the source, one of the complaints  concerns the second and third paragraphs of Article Six of the  European Convention, which provides for the presumption of innocence  and the right to defense, which, according to the lawyers,  were  violated. Another complaint concerned the election of an arrest  against Robert Kocharyan as a preventive measure.

The ECtHR secretariat informed Robert Kocharian's defense team that  the court would consider cases as soon as possible.

Note that Robert Kocharyan is accused under Art. 300.1 of the  Criminal Code of Armenia in overthrowing the constitutional system in  the framework of the criminal case on the dispersal of protest  actions on March 1, 2008. On December 7 last year, the Court of  Appeal upheld the verdict of the first instance for the arrest of the  2nd President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharian. Without  waiting for the transfer of the verdict to the investigator, Robert  Kocharyan himself appeared in the "Kentron" penitentiary unit, where  he was later arrested. The office of the second president of Armenia  called the arrest a political vendetta. RPA, however, qualified it as  pressure from the current government on political opponents.
