Former Armenian Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan Questioned as Witness in March 1, 2008 Case

Armenian Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan today confirmed reports, which circulated some two months ago, that Aghvan Hovsepyan, who served as Armenia’s Prosecutor General from 2004 to 2013, has been questioned as a witness in the March 1, 2008 trial involving former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and three other former government officials.

The Prosecutor General's Office hadn't commented on the matter before today.

When asked by reporters to comment on the current status of Hovsepyan in the ongoing court case, Davtyan said it would depend on the evidence brought forth in the trial.

The trial of former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and three other ex-government officials charged with the overthrowing of constitutional order during the post-election protests in Yerevan on March 1-2, 2008 began on September 12 at the Shengavit branch of Yerevan’s Court of General Jurisdiction.

The other three defendants in the case are Armen Gevorgyan (Armenia’s National Security Council Secretary at the time) and two other former government officials (then Armenian Deputy Minister of Defense Yuri Khachaturov and Seyran Ohanyan, who was Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces in March 2008).
