YEREVAN, February 13. /ARKA/. The Special Investigation Agency of Armenia brought another charge against Robert Kocharyan, a former Armenian president, accusing him of receiving a large-amount bribe.
Before that, in 2018 summer, Kocharyan was charged with toppling constitutional order in collusion with other persons in 2008 March. He is now in detention pending trial.
The case dates back to late February and early March 2008 following the disputed presidential election, when then prime minister Serzh Sargsyan was declared the winner, angering the opposition, led by the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan and setting off 10 days of nonstop protests that led to a crackdown on March 1, in which 10 people were killed and more than 200 injured. -0---
