The supporters of Armenian ex-president Robert Kocharyan, who is in custody with charges for overturning the countries constitutional order, are holding a protest outside the French and Italian embassies in capital Yerevan. The initiative group of the protest plan to hand over a signed letter to the representatives of the embassies.
“The letter contains 29 points with facts that outline the violations registered in the course of the year-long court proceeding against Robert Kocharyan. This is not a protest action rather we attempt to understand the position of the EU member states over the case,” one of the participants of the action told reporters.
To note, a similar protest was earlier held in front of the German Embassy in Yerevan. The members of the initiative group informed they have not received any response thus far and had asked the international diplomatic missions to present their views publicly.
