Serzh Sargsyan: Charges brought against me are legal acrobatics

ArmInfo.The new charges brought against the third President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan for embezzlement and misappropriation of state funds are legal acrobatics by the Armenian authorities, as stated by the Sargsyan himself  to journalists  on May 21.

According to him, it is not his prerogative to predict outcomes of this trial. "But in any case, I believe and hope that the court will thoroughly study this case and confirm the absurdity of the charges brought against me," the third President of the Republic of Armenia said. He was responding to a question about his expectations from the trial that began today, against the background of the decision of the previous judge Vahe Misakyan, who acquitted him. That decision ultimately led to the judge's resignation.

Recall that today a new trial began in the Anti-Corruption Court of Armenia against the third President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan. This time he is accused of committing embezzlement and theft on an especially large scale during his tenure as Minister of Defense.
