Armenian former minister Vartan Oskanian’s case is linked to the rivalry between President Serzh Sargsyan and his predecessor Robert Kocharian, Heritage opposition party’s secretary general said.

“Parliamentary vote on Oskanian case revealed who controls the situation,” Stepan Safaryan told a press conference.

He further deemed the ex-minister’s possible arrest hardly probable, considering the international community’s standpoint and ex-president Robert Kocharian’s statement.

Armenian National Assembly resolved October 2 to strip Prosperous Armenia member, former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian of deputy immunity over Civilitas Foundation fund misuse charges.
