Vartan Oskanian, now an MP of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), was
Armenia’s FM for ten years and was an honest official, Hakob
Avetikyan, Armenia-based leader of the Armenian Democratic Liberal
Party Ramgavar and Editor-in-Chief of the Azg daily, told journalists
on Friday.

The charges of money laundering by means of the Civilitas Foundation
arouse numerous doubts.

`He was the most modest official and visited any place without any
bodyguards,’ Avetikyan said.

According to him, the Civilitas Foundation case involves inaccurate
accounting reports.

`All this smells of reprisals,’ Avetikyan added.
