Vote 2013: Oskanian denies presidential ambitions

Vartan Oskanian, former Foreign Minister of Armenia (1998-2008), founder of the Civilitas Foundation and member of the Prosperous Armenia Party, has ruled out the possibility that he will run in the presidential elections next year, reports Today's Zaman Turkish newspaper.

Over the past several years there have been speculations over the possibility which intensified after Oskanian joined Armenia's second most powerful party led by tycoon Gagik Tsarukyan and believed to be second president Robert Kocharyan's brainchild.

In an interview, on Monday, to a group of reporters from Turkey who came to Armenia with the sponsorship of the Hrant Dink Foundation and the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Oskanian talked about the May election results.
