The Kremlin sends a congratulatory telegram to former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan

The cable, which the Kremlin published on the Russian “Max” platform, stated: “I wish you continued health, wellness, moral vitality, and the ability to withstand the adversity that you and your family face.”

The congratulations came at a time when the Armenian arena is witnessing exciting judicial developments, as on August 27, a decision was issued to arrest Kocharyan for two months, and to arrest his son, Levon, an opposition MP, in a move that his supporters described as politically motivated.

On August 31, Kocharyan, who headed Armenia from 1998 to 2008, turned 72 years old.
