The director of Armenian center for strategic and national investigation, political scientist Richard Kirakosyan touched upon the issue of lifting Vartan Oskanyan’s immunity during press conference. The expert was disappointed by RA chief prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan’s statement showing that he doesn’t perceive the real grounds of the affair.
By his account the second thing to be criticized is the chosen period that proves this is a politicized process, meaning that the chosen process is quite doubtful.
Richard Kirakosyan noted that there exist far more serious deviations by the very MPs of NA especially by oligarchs.
He thinks this is a test for Armenian legislative body, for Armenia’s international credit and has nothing to do with Oskanyan and Civilitas, it is targeted to Tsarukyan and Robert Kocharyan.
Either consciously or unconsciously Aghvan Hovsepyan supports Oskanyan on the eve of presidential elections.
“This is the main point, I neither support nor criticize Oskanyan as a personality, but I support his right.”- Richard Kirakosyan said.
