A group of protesters blocked Robert Kocharian from holding a press conference on August 14
YEREVAN (Azatutyun.am)””A group of protesters burst into a hotel in Yerevan on Tuesday, preventing former President Robert Kocharian from holding a news conference there.
Kocharian was due to meet the press at a conference hall of the Erebuni Plaza hotel one day after Armenia’s Court of Appeals released him from custody and ruled that he cannot be prosecuted for a 2008 post-election crackdown on opposition protesters.
The news conference was disrupted by several dozen mostly young protesters chanting “Robert murderer!”
