YEREVAN. - The Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) will convene a faction
session at the National Assembly (NA) on October 1, Zhamanak daily
reports.
`The PAP members will discuss the [Prosecutor General's] petition to
strip [The Civilitas Foundation founder, former FM, and currently PAP
MP] Vartan Oskanian of his [parliamentary] immunity, and the NA
Agenda.
The [PAP] meeting yesterday [Friday] was very short. [PAP Chairman
Gagik] Tsarukyan said the charges against Oskanian are groundless and
that they will present substantiations. So, on Monday the PAP members
will distribute The Civilitas' report and the remaining evidence at
the parliament.
It is apparent that the political majority votes in accordance with
the faction's decision, and not with substantiations, and the [ruling
Republican Party] RPA already announced that it will vote in favor of
the decision to strip Oskanian of his immunity.
[But] According to Zhamanak's PAP sources, negotiations - in the
[President and RPA leader] Serzh Sargsyan-Gagik Tsarukyan format - are
not ruled out on Saturday and Sunday,' Zhamanak writes.
