Justice Minister Rustam Badasian deplored on Wednesday an Armenian court’s decision to throw out coup charges brought against former President Robert Kocharian in connection with the 2008 post-election violence in Yerevan.
A Yerevan judge presiding over the two-year trial of Kocharian and three other former officials made the decision on Tuesday ten days after the charges were declared unconstitutional by Armenia’s Constitutional Court.
The high court argued that they cannot be prosecuted for the alleged “overthrow of the constitutional order” because there was no such article in the country’s former Criminal Code which was in force during the events of March 2008.

A judge in Yerevan threw out on Tuesday coup charges against former President Robert Kocharian which Armenia’s Constitutional Court has declared unconstitutional.
Kocharian as well as two retired generals were charged in 2018 with overthrowing the constitutional order” under Article 300.1 of the Armenian Criminal Code. The accusation rejected by them as politically motivated stems from the 2008 post-election unrest that left ten people dead.
The current Criminal Code was enacted after the dramatic events of March 2008. In a March 26 ruling, the Constitutional Court backed defense lawyers’ arguments that it cannot be applied retroactively against Kocharian and the other defendants.
