PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage parliamentary group will back Prosperous
Armenia member, former foreign minister Vartan Oskanian, party
member said.
Ruben Hakobyan expressed the faction's readiness to boycott the vote
on stripping ex-minister Oskanian of deputy immunity.
In this context, he urged the political majority to drop the case,
noting it as a factor undermining both the parliament's and the
country's image in international arena.
Mr. Hakobyan further noted charges against Oskanian as a continuation
of the parliament's tradition to deprive MPs of their congressional
immunity, citing a number of old cases to prove his point (Vazgen
Manukyan, Paruyr Hayrikyan, Shavarsh Kocharyan were stripped of
deputy immunity).
Armenian parliament holds discussions on Prosecutor General Aghvan
Hovsepyan's proposal to strip ex-minister Vartan Oskanian of deputy
immunity over money-laundering charges against Civilitas Foundation.
