    POLITICAL EXPERT: CHARGE FILED AGAINST OSKANIAN IS A STEP DIRECTED AT PREVENTION OF HIS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

    ARMINFO
    Wednesday, October 3, 17:47

    Stripping ex-foreign minister, member of Prosperous Armenia Party,
    Vartan Oskanian, of immunity and his involvement in the case on money
    laundering by Civilitas Foundation is a preventive step directed at
    prevention of his running for president at the presidential election
    2013 in Armenia, political expert, Ervand Bozoyan, said at today's
    press-conference.

    "It is obvious that Civilitas case is invented and is a result of
    the election campaign that has been already started. It is strange
    that the case was started just after refusal of the PAP to join the
    ruling coalition. It is also strange that the Huntsmans family has
    no pretension to Oskanian although Prosecutor General Agvan Hovsepyan
    has been trying to protect its rights", - Bozoyan said. He also added
    that if the Republican Party of Armenia was trying to remove Oskanian
    like a candidate for president, at present the situation changed and
    after this persecution the sympathy of the people towards Oskanian
    and the PAP has grown.

    He thinks that this case will negatively affect the world image of the
    country, as accusation of ex-foreign minister for money laundering,
    casts doubt upon democracy in Armenia. He said that after Ramil
    Safarov's pardoning, international structures said about lawlessness
    in Azerbaijan and Armenia got a chance to raise its rating and get
    various dividends. But after Oskanyan's case the authorities of
    Armenia put Azerbaijan and Armenia at one and the same level.
