Armenian Government Denies Political Pressure On Oskanian

The Armenian government flatly denied on Tuesday any political reasons behind the launch of criminal proceedings against former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian amid serious concerns about the case voiced by his Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), the second largest parliamentary force.

"I rule out any political motives," Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian told reporters. "Nobody has been charged. We are only talking about clearing up some circumstances."

"Unfortunately, when the state tries to carry out some actions to clarify phenomena hidden behind one or another piece of information people immediately allege a political subtext," he said.
