Former President Robert Kocharian has filed another defamation lawsuit against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian just days after being cleared of coup charges.
A lawyer for Kocharian, Hayk Alumian, told RFE/RL’s Armenian service on Thursday that he is seeking 4 million drams ($7,500) in damages and a public retraction of what he regards as slanderous claims made by Pashinian during a March 1 rally in Yerevan.
Addressing supporters at the city’s Republic Square, Pashinian accused Kocharian of ordering security forces to shoot and kill opposition protesters in Yerevan in March 2008. He again claimed that investigators have solved the killings of eight protesters and two police servicemen during the post-election unrest and that the ex-president is dragging out his trial to obstruct justice.
