As he noted, with Prosperous Armenia’s boycotting the parliament debate, the main burden was laid on Oskanian’s shoulders “The issues of Prosperous Armenia and Oskanian can hardly be a priority on PACE agenda to be resolved any time soon; rather, Prosperous Armenia’s step aims at damaging Armenia’s international image. On October 2, Armenian National Assembly resolved to strip Prosperous Armenia member, former Foreign Minister Oskanian of deputy immunity with 64 votes for, 6 against and 1 invalid, following two-day discussions over Civilitas Foundation fund misuse charges.
