Competitive trial takes place: Bright Armenia faction lawmaker on Kocharyan’s trial
Bright Armenia faction does not see elements of political persecution against Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan.
“We do not see elements of political persecution and for us this case is just a legal process,” Bright Armenia faction lawmaker Ani Samsonyan said.
“This is just a legal procedure and it is not of any prior significance for us,” she said.
Other lawmaker of the faction Karen Simonyan said that competitive trial takes place with the sides having right to appeal all the decisions.
“Both the prosecutors and defense side are in equal conditions. It is a common judicial process and my opinion is that it should not differ from other trials. The same procedures must be maintained which in my opinion takes place,” the lawmaker said.
