Judge Ruben Mkhitaryan, presiding over the Criminal Court of Appeals, has launched the investigation today into Armenia's second president, Robert Kocharyan’s appeal to eliminate the court’s decision on detention on the grounds of his immunity.

Panorama.am correspondent reports from the court that the session will be closed-door.
