Vartan Oskanian was “fatefully alone”, very thoughtful and sad. Before the session he was sitting alone in his room, the only person next to him being Gourgen Arsenyan. Later Oskanian himself went to Arsenyan’s room, where they were discussing the list of those voting “for”.
According to “Hraparak” sources, he is offended by Tsarukyan’s absence, as he understands that in case of political need, he can be arrested as well, and the only person able to suppress that is not next to him.
