Armenia’s Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan has petitioned Armenia’s
parliament for its consent to involving Vartan Oskanian, an MP of the
Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), in a criminal investigation conducted
by Armenia’s National Security Service.
Sona Truzyan, Spokesperson for the Prosecutor General’s Office,
informed Tert.am that by presenting a petition the Prosecutor’s
Office does not raise the issue of arrest. Rather, it is a petition
for depriving Vartan Oskanian of his parliamentary immunity.
Talking to Tert.am, PAP Spokesman Tigran Urikhanyan said that the
PAP will make comments after the legal process has begun.
“The party is likely to hold a meeting tomorrow [Friday], whereafter
we will announce our position,” he said.
With respect to political connotations in the whole matter, Urikhanyan
said all the answers will be available on Friday.
