Authorities deny reports on charging Serzh Sargsyan

Third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan is not charged in the March 1 case, Special Investigative Service spokesperson Marina Ohanjanyan told ARMENPRESS, noting that Sargsyan does not have a status of a defendant. She dismissed media rumors claiming that Sargsyan is charged.

Earlier Sargsyan’s attorney Amram Makinyan confirmed to RFE/RL’s Armenian service Azatutyun that Sargsyan has indeed been questioned by authorities, but as a witness.

First President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan too has been questioned in the same case.

Second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, is currently jailed pending trial.

The March 1 probe is an ongoing investigation into the 2008 post-election unrest in Yerevan when 10 people, including two security personnel, died in clashes. Robert Kocharyan, who was the outgoing president at that time, is under arrest on coup-related charges in the case.
