Armenian President called from Kazakhstan the head of the Supreme  Judicial Council to discuss the current situation

ArmInfo. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian, who is on a working visit to Kazakhstan, had a telephone conversation with the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Gagik Harutyunyan.  According to the presidential press service, the  interlocutors during the conversation discussed the ongoing situation  in the country.

To note, today the MP from the ruling bloc <My Step> Hayk Sargsyan on  his Facebook page wrote that the judge in the Kocharyan case is under  pressure, with the result that he can change the measure of restraint  from arrest to bail. In this regard, Sargsyan called on the people to  gather in front of the court building and to do everything so that  the judge would make a fair decision: "A man who killed 10 lives,  crippled the fate of tens of thousands of people should not be free".

Kocharyan's defense considered this statement as an attempt to put  pressure on the court and called on President Armen Sarkissian to  prevent a possible displacement of the constitutional system, and the  head of the Supreme Judicial Council Gagik Harutyunyan to take  measures to implement an independent justice.  It should also be  noted that at that time the court ruled to release Kocharyan under  the personal guarantee of the former and current presidents of  Artsakh.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told Russian journalists  that from a moral point of view, he does not see problems in this  guarantee, but from a political point of view, questions arise: ''How  would the Artsakh authorities react if I vouched for someone who is  tried in NKR?''
