Sedrak Kocharyan, son of the second President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharyan, has filed a lawsuit against the state. He demands that the presumption of his innocence and receive compensation for 2 million drams in the amount of non-pecuniary damage from the state.
EUROMEDIA 24:In a conversation with "Armenpress" lawyer, Hayk Alumyan said that they had applied to the court not so common, as there are few lawsuits in the practice of violation of the presumption of innocence. The lawsuit refers to public defamation and protection of honor and dignity. In addition, the court also requires compensation for 2 million drams.
It should be noted that in 2020, Robert Kocharyan also sued Nikol Pashinyan on the basis of defamation, demanding to protect his honor and dignity and compensate for the amount of 2 million drams in the amount of 2 million drams.
According to Alumyan, the reason for the lawsuit is the statements that are not balanced and the presumption of non-balanced and innocence of the prosecutor's office.
"In case of violation of any right guaranteed by the Constitution, this person has the right to go to court and demand that the violation recognizes, as well as compensation for material and intangible damages. The Civil Code also envisages it, "he said.
As for the amount of compensation required, the lawyer clarified.
"It was elected 2 million drams, as the violation was expressed in the most obvious way. It was voiced on a large coverage on TV, made by the prosecutor's office and presented as a confirmed fact. All this, taking into account the severity of the accusation, made more damage. "
According to Alumyan, such public statements affect not only Sedrak Kocharyan, but also on the formation of public attitudes towards the defendants in general.
"If anyone insists that it does not affect public opinion, it turns out that the prosecutor's office and investigative bodies have been fully discredited. In fact, their words are still influenced. This is only one side of the problem. The other side is indirect pressure on the court. When the accusation is already presented as a case before the court examining the case, it may have a certain impact on the judiciary, "he said.
It should be reminded that Sedrak Kocharyan was charged with the co-founder of LL Bimbo LLC to predetermine its decisions of its executive director, supported Serzh Sargsyan.
According to the accusation, he supported Sargsyan's participation in the entrepreneurial activities and to provide special bribes to take special large bribes to take advantage of the obstacles.
However, Kocharyan, however, insisted that he did not do his actions. His work is currently in court.
