YEREVAN.- Former Armenian FM and Prosperous Armenia Party MP Vartan
Oskanian considers the charges brought against him as nothing but
political persecution.
In an interview with DW he said there are two reasons for considering
persecution politically motivated. First of all it has no legal ground
and, secondly, the timing is very important.
The charges are brought regarding the case that actually occurred
two years ago. He stressed that Armenia is preparing for presidential
elections, while he is a member of a party which can become a serious
rival for the ruling political force.
Oskanian noted he has no intention to struggle at the legal level,
as it is a political issue. The persecution is not against Oskanian
or his party but against democracy in Armenia, he emphasized.
He assured the issue will never be bargained by Prosperous Armenia
Party, adding that this political force will play an essential role
during the presidential elections.
