  U.S. envoy says Oskanian case selective application of Armenian law (video)  October 10, 2012 - 15:41 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. ambassador to Armenia John Heffern issued a statement regarding the ongoing process against former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian. “I have been asked for the U.S. views on the announcement that Mr. Oskanian has been formally charged. This development, in my view, is bad for justice and democracy in Armenia. As I have said previously, the case appears to represent the selective application of Armenian law. Moreover, the timing of these events in relation to the election schedule is troubling,” amb. Heffern said. “We urge the Government of Armenia to live up to its commitments to the systematic, fair and transparent implementation of the rule of law,” he said.
