Robert Kocharyan's Office: Reports on Armenian second president's
involvement in financial fraud and corruption are failed attempts to
find damaging information

Armenian second president Robert Kocharyan's spokesperson Victor
Soghomonyan has commented on the reports that the Russian Prosecutor
General's Office investigates a corruption case where the name of the
second president is mentioned.
Soghomonyan called such reports nonsense. He thinks that it is the
same as if a citizen of Armenia appeals to the Prosecutor General's
Office of Armenia for criminal proceedings against ex-president of the
USA George Bush and then receives a notification from the Prosecutor
General's Office that his letter has been received.
"If that citizen draws a conclusion from that notification that the
Prosecutor's Office has launched investigation in Bush's case, he
needs a psychiatric aid. Unfortunately, the same applies to those few
journalists and politicians that take seriously such publications and
try to make 'shocking' resolutions. Obviously, long and useless
search for compromising information against Robert Kocharyan makes
some people use such primitive methods and invent such fairytales,"
Shoghomonyan says.
Earlier, Armenian mass media reported citing the letter received by
the Administration of the Russian President that there is a case in
charge of the RF Prosecutor General's Office where the name of the
second president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan is mentioned. This
happened after Marina Galuchenko, Head of the Public Relations Office
of the National Anti-Corruption Committee of Russia, sent a letter to
Vladimir Putin informing that they have documents from Armenia
containing facts of Robert Kocharyan's involvement in big business.
That was in the period of Kocharyan's presidency and not after his
term.
