Alexander Iskandaryan thinks that the money laundering accusation
against former Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian is not a
show but a real political struggle.
"Oskanian is the second person in the PAP and this party may be
the main rival of the RPA in upcoming elections", said Alexander
Iskandaryan.
According to him, political struggle uses any possible methods. "In
some cases, political forces struggle with Kalashnikov guns, pressures
of various kind and in some others- through non-independent judicial
system", he said.
According to the political scientist, if the PAP candidate has about
40% of votes in upcoming presidential elections, the party may have
serious political claims after the elections.
"The recent developments around the figure of the former Foreign
Minister bear witness to marked political subtext", said the political
scientist.
