Vartan Oskanian, a former foreign minister highly critical of Armenia's government, has been summoned to the National Security Service (NSS) for questioning in a criminal investigation which he denounced as politically motivated on Monday.
In a written statement, Oskanian said the NSS has opened a criminal case on money laundering allegedly involving himself and the Civilitas Foundation, a Yerevan think-tank which he founded and headed until recently.
"I find it strange and astonishing that my work and the work of Civilitas can in any way be linked to money laundering or illegally acquired funds," he said. "Even more astonishing is that such a question is being raised at a time when I have entered politics."
