Yerevan/Mediamax/. Vice Speaker of the Parliament, spokesman for
the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Edward Sharmazanov said
today that "there are no political persecutions in Armenia".
Edward Sharmazanov said this commenting on the money-laundering
accusation against former Foreign Minister, MP from "Prosperous
Armenia" (PAP) party Vardan Oskanian, Mediamax reports.
"Armenia is following the path of democratic development and there
are no persecutions in our country. The problem related to Vardan
Oskanian is in the legal sphere", said the RPA representative.
Touching upon the statement made by Vardan Oskanian on the upcoming
presidential elections a day ago, Edward Sharmazanov noted that the
RPA considers the statement as a "personal" one.
"We recognize only the statement of the leader of the party, Gagik
Tsarukyan, as an official standpoint of PAP. In 2011, he signed a
coalition statement reading that they support the current President
Serzh Sargsyan at the upcoming presidential elections. The PAP didn't
make another statement", said RPA spokesman.
It should be recalled that Vardan Oskanian stated a day ago that
if the PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan refuses to run for the upcoming
presidential elections he is ready to undertake the responsibility.
