The Yerevan General Jurisdiction Court presided by Judge Anna Danibekyan allowed Armenia's former President Robert Kocharyan 

to sign agreements on the seized property that may not result in their expropriation. The petition was submitted by Kocharyan's lawyers. One of the members of the ex-president defense team Hovhannes Khudoyan  informed that there is no risk for expropriation since the agreement may concern only the utility and property indemnity agreements. 

To remind, the ex-president’s property was seized and bank accounts were frozen on 30 July 2018, four days after Kocharyan was formally charged with ‘overthrowing’ Armenia’s constitutional order.

Later, the Judge of the Yerevan General Jurisdiction Court partially satisfied the lawyers' appeal, holding that the ex-president’s rights had been violated. The Court also partially lifted the attachment of the property belonging to Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan.
