The Anti-Corruption Criminal Court in Yerevan is hearing the case of the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharian, former Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and former Secretary General of the CSTO Yury Khachtorov and former Minister of Defense Seiran Ohanian. In the past they were accused of overthrowing the constitutional order, but the Constitutional Court declared this case unconstitutional. The Penal Court, in a ruling dated September 12 of this year, overturned the decision to dismiss the case against Kocharian, Khachtorov and other defendants and allowed the reclassification of the charges. The judge in the case is Sarkis Petrosyan, a former member of the Civil Contract Party who offered himself to parliament from this party in 2018.
