The Armenian tax authorities have started a financial inspection of a think-tank founded by Vartan Oskanian following the controversial launch of criminal proceedings against the former foreign minister critical of the government.
The Civilitas Foundation announced on Friday that officials from the State Revenue Committee (SRC) visited its offices to request "financial documentation since the Foundation's establishment in May 2008."
Oskanian confirmed the information on Monday, linking the tax audit with a criminal case opened against him and Civilitas by the National Security Service (NSS). "I think the investigation by the tax agency could be useful for us and they will see that everything was done at Civilitas in accordance with the letter and spirit of the law," he told reporters.
