The leader of the Prosperous Armenia party (PAP), Gagik Tsarukyan, has
met ex-Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanyan to discuss the National
Security Service's money laundering charges against his foundation,
Civilitas.
According to a statement by Tsarukyan's press office, the PAP leader
expressed willingness to do everything possible to protect the rights
and interests of his colleagues inside the party.
Oskanyan resigned from Civilitas Foundation's board earlier this year
to join the Prosperous Armenia party which was then represented in the
coalition government. Following the May 6 parliamentary election, he
was elected to the National Assembly.
`The PAP leader highly appreciates the Civilitas Foundation's role in
promoting democratic values and diversity of opinions,' reads the
statement.
Tsarukyan has promised, upon necessity, to invite internationally
acclaimed lawyers to Armenia to assist Oskanyan.
