Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) has disproved the information
disseminated by Armenian mass media, according to which UAR made a
statement to support ex-foreign minister of Armenia, a member of the
Prosperous Armenian Party, Vartan Oskanian, which may be removed of
a deputy immunity and attracted like a defendant on the case on money
laundering by Civilitas Foundation.
To recall, earlier Armenian mass media received a statement from UAR
to support Vartan Oskanyan, urging the parliament to vote against
the motion of the prosecutor general to strip Vartan Oskanian of
parliamentary immunity.
To recall, on September 27 Prosecutor General Hovsepyan appealed
to the Parliament for a permission to involve Vardan Oskanyan as
an accused party in the money laundering case against Civilitas
Foundation. The appeal implies deprivation of deputy immunity, but
not arrest. Oskanyan has already made a statement saying that Aghvan
Hovsepyan's appeal was a political order. On June 12 the National
Security Service of the Republic of Armenia submitted details of the
criminal case against Civilitas Foundation initiated on May 25 (article
190.3 of the Criminal Code of the RA money laundering). The criminal
case against the Civilitas Foundation concerns the $2mln transaction
for the sale of Huntsman Building Products, an Armenia-based company
owned by US-based Polymer Materials and Huntsman International.
